<p>Robbak: Mount -u is the wrong syntax. Changed to umount.</p> <hr /> <div>Under FreeBSD 4.x and prior, a utility called [[vnconfig]] was used for both creating and mounting RAMdisks and mounting ISOs as virtual drives. However, vnconfig is no longer used in FreeBSD 5.x. To mount an image under a FreeBSD 5.x system, you'll need to use [[mdconfig]], like this:<br /> <br /> ph34r# '''mdconfig -a -t vnode -f /path/to/image.iso -u 1''' <br /> ph34r# '''mount -t cd9660 /dev/md1 /mnt/cdrom'''<br /> <br /> Note that -u 1 matches up with /dev/md1. If you needed to mount more than one device this way, you would use -u x with /dev/mdx as appropriate.<br /> <br /> To dismount the ISO and destroy the virtual device (thus allowing you to do things like write to the ISO file), you would issue the following:<br /> <br /> ph34r# '''umount /dev/md1'''<br /> ph34r# '''mdconfig -d -u 1'''<br /> <br /> [[Category : Common Tasks]]</div>
