LinuxQuestions.org - Mounting VHD with minix

Hello,
sorry if I put this thread in wrong category, but I figured out that this one is the closest match.

I am trying to mount VHD file (20MB, fixed size, minix file system) to be able to copy files into it.

I tried (offset 40448 is for virtual box headers)

Code:

# mount -t minix -o loop,offset=40448 MinixDist.vdi /mnt

but it returns

Code:

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop1,

      missing codepage or helper program, or other error

      In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try

      dmesg | tail  or so

The suggested command from above returns

Code:
