Mounting KVM image

Hi,

I have a 5GB kvm image that I created some time ago, and would like to
mount it on the host system to access it. I've located a few documents
online for how to do this, but it doesn't seem to work properly.

Can someone direct me to information on how to mount a qcow2 image as
a local filesystem on FC13?

I've tried to convert it to 'raw', but then when I try to mount it, I see:

# file systmp-kvm.*
systmp-kvm.img: Qemu Image, Format: Qcow , Version: 2
systmp-kvm.raw: x86 boot sector, LInux i386 boot LOader; partition 1:
ID=0x83, active, starthead 0, startsector 1, 48194 sectors; partition
2: ID=0x85, starthead 0, startsector 48195, 83827170 sectors, code
offset 0xeb

# sfdisk -l systmp-kvm.raw
Disk systmp-kvm.raw: cannot get geometry

Disk systmp-kvm.raw: 5221 cylinders, 255 heads, 63 sectors/track
Units = cylinders of 8225280 bytes, blocks of 1024 bytes, counting from 0

   Device Boot Start     End   #cyls    #blocks   Id  System
systmp-kvm.raw1   *      0+      2       3-     24097   83  Linux
systmp-kvm.raw2          3    5220    5218   41913585   85  Linux extended
systmp-kvm.raw3          0       -       0          0    0  Empty
systmp-kvm.raw4          0       -       0          0    0  Empty
systmp-kvm.raw5          3+   5102    5100-  40965749+  83  Linux
systmp-kvm.raw6       5103+   5220     118-    947834+  82  Linux swap / Solaris

# mount -o loop,offset=$((63*1024)) systmp-kvm.raw /mnt/newimage/
mount: you must specify the filesystem type

Ideas greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Alex
