Bruce,
First, make sure you have the loopback module loaded, insmod loop, I
believe...
Then use the "option" flag in the mount command, for example:
mount -t iso9660 -o loop <image.iso> <mount point>
That should do it! Cheers!

|
| I see during kernel configuration that you can use the
| loopback device to mount an iso image file into
| the file system. I have looked through various pieces of
| documentation and tried the following steps:
|
| losetup /dev/loop0 /file.iso
| mount -t iso9660 /dev/loop0 /mnt
|
| The mount command returns a long error line with various
| possibilities for what is wrong.
|
| What am I missing?
