To mount a iso image:
mdconfig -at nvode -f MYIMAGE.ISO
mount_cd9960 /dev/md0 /somewhere
If you want to mount multiple ISO images then you will have to
use md1, md2, ect.
Don't forget to unmount and detach the memory disk:
umount /somewhere
mdconfig -ud 0
0 should be replaced with the appropiate device number
Note that this will only mount standard iso images (iso9660, usually
.iso or .bin), if you want to mount Nero/Alcohol/PowerISO/ect images
then you must first convert them, iat is a great tool for doing this:
Ports collection: sysutils/iat
