I think the problem is that I dont seem to have the loop module
available (unless it is statically built into the kernel, rather than
available as a dynamically loaded kernel module):

localhost sdcard # lsmod |grep loop
localhost sdcard # modprobe loop
modprobe: module 'loop' not found
localhost sdcard # 
localhost sdcard # losetup `losetup -f` /mnt/sdcard/debian.img
losetup: /dev/loop0: No such file or directory
localhost sdcard # ls -l /dev/loop0
ls: /dev/loop0: No such file or directory
localhost sdcard # ls -l /dev/block/loop0 
brw-------    1 root     root        7,   0 Jul 13 11:38 /dev/block/loop0
localhost sdcard # losetup /dev/block/loop0 /mnt/sdcard/debian.img
losetup: /dev/block/loop0: No such file or directory
localhost sdcard # 
localhost sdcard # uname -a
Linux localhost 2.6.32.17-cyanogenmod-g46ca326 #1 PREEMPT Thu Apr 21 20:36:02 EDT 2011 armv6l GNU/Linux
