Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Am trying to burn a data cd. First step is mkisofs and then burn with cdrecord. After preparation of cd9660 image using mkisofs I would like to mount the file system so I can look at it before actually burning the cd. Found a linux document [am running 3.3 Release] which says that, under Linux, it is mountable using /dev/loop Linux mount according to the HOWTO referenced below: mount -t iso9660 -o ro,loop=/dev/loop0 cd_image /cdrom cd_image is the name of the image file [they use iso9660 we use cd9660] Any way to mount the image file to take a look at it? Here are *some* of my feeble attempts, do not really understand the error message, # mount -t cd9660 -o ro /dev/tty /cdrom cd9660: Block device required # mount -t cd9660 -o ro /dev/cd0 /cdrom cd9660: No such file or directory # mount -t cd9660 -o ro /dev/tty0 /cdrom cd9660: No such file or directory # mount -t cd9660 -o ro /dev/ttyv0 /cdrom cd9660: Block device required # mount -t cd9660 -o ro /dev/console /cdrom cd9660: Block device required reference for those interested http://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/CD-Writing-HOWTO thanks Jeff To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
