Hi, 

Suppose I have a disk image of some sort ( floppy or I do a "dd
/dev/hda1 > disk.img" ), How can I mount it as part of my file system? I
would like to do something like

mount -t diskimage   disk.img  /mnt

and then being able to play with files under /mnt? 

This would be a nice thing to have if I want to say rescue a disk or
partition on this virtual thing first before playing with fire. Or
seeing how well a defraqmentation prog works.

Is there such thing avail on FreeBSD?

wilson
