Is it not bootable?

What problem are you trying to solve?

That's not a sarcastic question: it is not necessary to use vnconfig
or mount to _use_ the bootable ISO image, at least if you follow the
direction in the INSTALL.amd64 file, so you're doing something
unusual.

Also, you don't actually say *EXACTLY* what you did, or what the
results were, so how can we explain how your third command had the
wrong argument when we don't know what your third command was?

What step in the INSTALL.amd64 file failed for you?
