Hi,
I'm struggling with the same problem. I found that with this error
"Invalid argument", the disc obviously is concidered to be a non-iso9660
disc by BSD.
The funny thing is that the disc is mounted by Linux, but not by BSD.
If you find a solution to this, I would appreciate it very much to
share the method.
Regards,
Thomas
