No.  If the partition table is somewhat broken (and parted doesn't
like it), then you can access the partition directly ;-)

This works through the virtual "loop" disk label.  See
libparted/disk_loop.c

BTW, I intend to fix the alignment issue... (which is why he can't
use /dev/hda)

I'm working on it right now, in fact ;-)
