 This is indeed possible.  I have tested this as the following on 5.0,
 and had a patch for this on my old hard drive (which unfortunately
 started scratching and I lost a lot of my (FreeBSD) work... anyway)
 because it's cost effective as you mention it. ;-)
 
 	# mount_msdosfs /dev/ad1s2 /dos
 	# mdconfig -a -t vnode -f /dos/ftp/releng_5-ftp-disc1.iso
 	md6
 	# mount_cd9660 /dev/md6 /cdrom
 
 I don't mind coming up with a patch again, when I find the time.
 Cheers.
