Am trying to burn a data cd. First step is mkisofs and then burn
with cdrecord.
After preparation of cd9660 image using mkisofs I would like to mount the
file system so I can look at it before actually burning the cd.
Found a linux document [am running 3.3 Release] which says that, under
Linux, it is mountable using /dev/loop
Linux mount according to the HOWTO referenced below:
mount -t iso9660 -o ro,loop=/dev/loop0 cd_image /cdrom
cd_image is the name of the image file [they use iso9660 we use
cd9660]
Any way to mount the image file to take a look at it?
Here are *some* of my feeble attempts, do not really understand the error
message,
# mount -t cd9660 -o ro /dev/tty /cdrom
cd9660: Block device required
# mount -t cd9660 -o ro /dev/cd0 /cdrom
cd9660: No such file or directory
# mount -t cd9660 -o ro /dev/tty0 /cdrom
cd9660: No such file or directory
# mount -t cd9660 -o ro /dev/ttyv0 /cdrom
cd9660: Block device required
# mount -t cd9660 -o ro /dev/console /cdrom
cd9660: Block device required
