I can't seem to find a way to find the offset of a partition on a

i.e. given disk1s1 what is it's offset from the beginning of disk1?
AFAIK, there is nothing intrinsic about partitions. It's the
partition table that defines them. That's what the system uses to
find them, when partitions on a disk are mounted. Why do you think
it's otherwise possible?
