Pardon my political incorrectness...
If you can't get it to work under FreeBSD, I'm pretty sure that it works
under Linux:
mount -t iso9660 -o loop file.img /mnt
(I'm not sure that "iso9660" is the right filesystem type, but "man
mount" will tell you.)
Once mounted that way you can use it like any other filesystem.
I actually did this once, but it was years ago.
