You have to have 'pseudo-device vn' in your kernel config and you have to make sure the vn* devices are made in /dev. Once you do that, the following commands will work: vnconfig -c /dev/vn0c filename.iso mount -t cd9660 /dev/vn0c /mnt Then you can "cd /mnt" and play around in that "loopback" filesystem to your heart's content. Just be sure to umount it, and "vnconfig -u /dev/vn0c" the vn0c device after you're done with it. See the man page on vnconfig for more information. -Jr ps: actually, now that I look in /modules, there is "vn.ko" so you might be able to get away with doing "kldload vn.ko" (and make sure the device nodes are in /dev/). -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= | John Reynolds WCCG, CCE, Higher Levels of Abstraction | | Intel Corporation MS: CH6-210 Phone: 480-554-9092 pgr: 602-868-6512 | | jreynold@sedona.ch.intel.com http://www-aec.ch.intel.com/~jreynold/ | =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
