sudo modprobe loop max_part=63 max_loop=8

Then if you mount your image with losetup /dev/loop0 my-image.img will have the partitions exposed in /dev/loop0p1 and /dev/loop0p2

I always add a file with the options under /etc/modprobe.d/loop.conf so that the extra options are loaded automatically upon boot:

sudo echo “options loop max_part=63 max_loop=8″ > /etc/modprobe.d/loop.conf

qemu-nbd -n virt01.img -P2
nbd-client localhost 10809 /dev/nbd0
mount /dev/nbd0 /mnt
