Q: How can I mount an ISO image file on Solaris:

A:

 I. Solaris 8 :

 1.  Create a device with lofiadm:

    lofiadm -a MYFILE.ISO

    then a device e.g :

   /dev/lofi/1

  will be created.

2. Now you can mount it:

    mount -F hsfs -o ro /dev/lofi/1 /mnt

 I've tried it, and it works all right.

II. Earlier Solaris:

You can do it in earlier revisions of Solaris with a kernel module called
"fbk" - I forget where to get it, but you should be able to find it in a
web search or something (or it might even be installed; check for
/dev/fbk*).

mount -F fbk -o ro,type=hsfs /dev/fbk0:/path/to/image.iso /mnt
