I want to make an ISO image of the FreeBSD distribution with a boot.config file that contains "/boot/loader -h". I have the ISO image as a file on my hard drive, and have mounted it on /mnt: mdconfig -a -t vnode -f /path/to/my/bootable.iso -u 0 mount -w -t cd9660 /dev/md0 /mnt However, when I try to create files on /mnt, I get: -su: boot.config: Read-only file system How do I make it so that I can write into /mnt so that I can then later save those back to the ISO image? --Paul Hoffman
