Awesome! finally got this working after finding ur gist

Note: on Slackware, and presumably other operating systems/versions of losetup, you need to add the -P flag when setting up image as loop device (e.g. losetup -P /dev/loop0 2016-05-27-raspbian-jessie.img) which forces the kernel to scan the partition table, otherwise it doesn't see the partitions in the Raspbian image.
