mount /dev/md1 /mnt/loop1 mount: /dev/md1 on /mnt/loop1: incorrect super block mount /dev/md2 /mnt/loop2 mount: /dev/md2 on /mnt/loop2: incorrect super block Hello, I think you have to add -t cd9660 (like when mounting a normal CDROM, otherwise FreeBSD tries to mount it as a normal UFS filesystem). mount -t cd9660 /dev/md1 /mnt/loop1 mount -t cd9660 /dev/md2 /mnt/loop2 Hope that helps.
