Anyway, I'll hard code loop device numbers into the script so
I can just forget about this problem. Thanks, Christoph.
hardcoding them is a little dangerous because a system might aswell
have them in use already, e.g. for CD images. Just use losetup -f to
find the first free one and keep it in a shell variable.
losetup -f is racy, too. losetup -sf is safe, however.
