You can make disk dumps from individual partitions or from a hard drive that contains more than one partition. The ladder has the advantage that you can restore the computer by dumping back the image onto the same or another hard drive. But if you want to access an individual partition from a hard drive image, you need to know where the partition boundaries are. You can note them down from the output of fdisk. However, fdisk -l gives the partition boundaries, but the unit is sectors. You need to multiply this number by the logical sector size to get the partition boundaries in bytes.

After some awful experience with an OBH Nordica electric waffle maker (one waffle took about 12 minutes and still was not entirely done), I have bought a cast-iron waffel maker from Skeppshult. After burning it in and several unsuccesfull attempts, I actually manged to make some waffles. However, I have not yet tried to use it over an open fire, but that was actually the idea when I bought it. I used it on our electric oven and one waffle takes about 4 minutes (on position 7-8 out of 9).
