High Sierra is supported via the hsfs option (which isn't in the man page, and may not be communicated to the kernel), according to the cd9660 source code. Since CDROM's are invariant (ie: they are ROM's 8-)), this should be auto-stected (indeed, it is auto-detected, according to the code in the cd9660_mount() in the FS source code for CDROM FS's). You should look at the source for details (unfortunately, IMO, the code needs a rewrite and Jordan is the only one with enough CDROM's to be able to adequately test ;-)). I *believe* that tweaking around to *unforce* the Rockridge stuff will enable auto-detect on mount. It's been a while since I was in the code.
