Hi,

>>mount rejects all FS types I have tried.....


lofiadm can not handle partitioned image files (yet?)

You can either attach the image file to another LDom or split the file 
image into file images for the slices. You can use my script
http://home.arcor.de/bnsmb/public/htdocs/split_cdrom_isoimage.html to 
split the file into separate files for each slice  which you can then 
mount via lofiadm (the script was written to split the slices from SPARC 
installation CDROMS iso image but it also works with disk images)

regards

Bernd
