Some RAID controllers put a 'wrapper' on the disk for the RAID 
metainfo.  Then there's a 'container' section that get presented to the 
OS/BIOS as the 'disk'.

Sometimes if you get the disk hooked up off the RAID controller, you 
can scan for the real partition table (look in the magic file) and 
mount the disk with an offset using the loopback device.
