Are you talking about mapping an image file to a loop device, and mount it
-o loop ?
I haven't tried the loop arguement to mount on solaris, but it's pretty easy
to manually mapping a file to a loop device, and then mounting the loop
device. Check out: lofiadm(1M)
As for mounting the image with an offset, I'm not aware of how you are doing
this in linux, and generally this isn't needed for an iso image, but you may
consider using dd(1M) to cut the image into multiple files.
On Solaris, it depends on the filesystem. FAT filesystems within images of
PC-style partitioned disks can be mounted using the 'normal' PCFS syntax
/dev/lofi/1:[c-z] but that functionality is limited to PCFS. It's not a
generic lofi thing.
Although it should be - the request is not new, see:
http://bugs.opensolaris.org/view_bug.do?bug_id=4765069
and what's associated with it.
But then, there's always more than one way to do it ... and in case of
what you can do right now, creating an iSCSI target where the backing
store is your partitioned image file, and then using the iSCSI initiator
on the same machine to access it (as a sd-managed disk) should allow you
to get the partitions. Sounds a bit like poke around the back, through
the ribs and up right into the eye, but hey ... :)
Have you tried the iscsitadm / iscsiadm workaround ?

Thanks!
