I commonly use that (daily even) on Linux, but was not aware that would work on FreeBSD. Here's the method I use on [modern] FreeBSD: mdconfig -a -t vnode -u 99 -f $ISOFILE mount -t cd9660 /dev/md99 /mnt And here's the method I would use on LEGACY FreeBSD: cd /dev && sh MAKEDEV vn99 vnconfig -c vn99 $ISOFILE mount -t cd9660 /dev/vn99c /mnt Or, you can just download this script which works on both Linux and FreeBSD: http://druidbsd.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/druidbsd/druidbsd/druid/src/tools/mou nt_iso.sh?view=log Usage: ./mount_iso.sh $ISOFILE /mnt Don't forget that when you're done, you have to deconfigure the device... On [modern] FreeBSD: umount /mnt mdconfig -d -u 99 And here's the method for LEGACY FreeBSD: umount /mnt vnconfig -u vn99c Or, you can just download this script which works on both Linux and FreeBSD: http://druidbsd.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/druidbsd/druidbsd/druid/src/tools/umo unt_iso.sh?view=log Usage: ./umount_iso.sh /mnt -- Devin _____________ The information contained in this message is proprietary and/or confidential.
