OpenBSD: Mount An ISO Image Command

To mount an ISO image on an OpenBSD system, you will need to follow these steps:

  1. Create a mount point for the ISO image. A mount point is a directory where the ISO image will be mounted. Create a directory for the mount point using the mkdir command. For example:
mkdir /mnt/iso
  1. Mount the ISO image. Use the mount command to mount the ISO image on the mount point you created. You will need to specify the -t cd9660 option to tell the system that the ISO image is a CD-ROM filesystem. For example:
mount -t cd9660 /path/to/image.iso /mnt/iso

Replace /path/to/image.iso with the actual path to your ISO image.

The ISO image will now be mounted on the /mnt/iso mount point. You can access the files on the ISO image by navigating to this directory.

  1. Unmount the ISO image when you are finished. When you are finished accessing the files on the ISO image, you should unmount it to prevent data loss. Use the umount command to unmount the ISO image:
umount /mnt/iso

Keep in mind that you will need to have the appropriate permissions to use the mount and umount commands. Typically, only the root user or users with sudo privileges can mount and unmount devices.
