mounting ISOs
Peter Johnson
appreciated. Here are the commands I'm running:
vnconfig /dev/vn0c /tmp/image.iso
mount -t cd9660 /dev/vn0c /mnt
The call to "mount" is exiting and telling me: "cd9660: Invalid
argument". I've tried calling mount_cd9660 manually and it doesn't
provide any more useful information.
Thanks.

themselves, because some images mount just fine and others don't. I think
I'll try to get one of the images that doesn't work burned onto a CD. If
that doesn't work (which wouldn't surprise me) then I know that the
problem doesn't lie in FreeBSD.
