Mounting... poowf!

  dd if=/dev/sdb of=/root/raw-copy-of-first-20meg count=2k bs=1k
  emacs ./raw-copy-of-first-20meg
  dd if=/root/raw-copy-of-first-20meg of=/dev/sdb count=2k bs=1k

And hope that in that raw amount of data you find the passwd file (I would
expect to find a couple of versions to reflect the various revisions, so
remember to overwrite the root passwd hash in all the copies you find).
