In a nutshell I use a that commmand in a small script to keep a
tutorial CD mounted at all times so I can just hit it from my
browser's bookmarks to read it.

Here is the script and obviously the command. ;)

#!/bin/sh
#
/usr/sbin/vnconfig vn0 /usr/home/wiliweld/ljcd2.iso 
/sbin/mount_cd9660 /dev/vn0c /mnt/test/

Hope this helps.
