An ISO image is literally just an image of the disc. That's why CD-R burners like them; it's just literally the bits that should go on the disc. So there is no "header" information in the sense of there being anything in the file which is different from the disc. They are supposed to be the same. You can actually mount ISO images using the "vn" device. Check out the man pages for "vn" and "vnconfig" if this sounds useful.
