Subject:   mountable directory?
Message-ID:  <Pine.BSF.4.10.9910130627410.4113-100000@cm-24-142-61-16.cableco-op.ispchannel.com>

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
