Using the -o loop option with mount is the much preferred way to mount ISO
(or floppy, or other raw filesystem) images, as you don't have to manually
create the loopback mount point, and remember to remove it when done. When
you use the -o loop option, a simple umount will remove the loopback device
as well as unmount the filesystem...
Another benifit of an embedded distribution is you can install from a file
mounted using loopback on the full linux distribution of your choice. Doing
an install of something like Debian or RH generally requires actual access
to the CD (or a much more complex network based install).
