I don't see that type of option on the mount command man pages for z/OS Unix. 
Same as with FTP, it would also require "smarts" for translating (or not) if 
the option did (does) exist.

It has been done at least once before, with a fairly high amount of 
aggravation.  I wouldn't necessarily recommend it.  Just FYI, the second DVD 
isn't needed for the install process.  All it has on it are the source 
packages.  I'm curious, though.  It's been while since I supported z/OS.  Does 
USS support loopback mounting things like ISO images?
