Mount an iso image

[decuser]

Digging around in the handbook (and other sources), I was finally able to mount an iso. In linux, it seems simpler mount -o loop myiso.iso /mnt or somesuch, is this really the simplest method:

mdconfig -a -t vnode -f myiso.iso -u 0
mount -t cd9660 /dev/md0 /mnt

mdmfs(8)

EXAMPLES
     Mount a vnode-backed cd9660 file system using automatic device numbering:

           mdmfs -T cd9660 -P -F foo.iso md /tmp

if you don't need to mount and only need to get some files from it then you can use tar (exactly as it if was a tar archive)

I'll prolly try that next go round, sounds easier.
