From a handbook example: # vnconfig -e vn0c /tmp/bootable.iso # mount -t cd9660 /dev/vn0c /mnt For this to work, however, you have to have the vn device configured in your kernel, which I don't think is present in the GENERIC config. I haven't tried this recently. Would anyone object to this being present in GENERIC? It seems handy.

Re: NFS question
:Hi all, :Im looking for an answer to a problem i am having. My computer mounts an :NFS share at boot time via /etc/fstab. If the server is for some reason :unavailable at boot time of my computer, my computer just hangs on trying :to mount the share. they were some kind of RPC errors. The problem is :solved quickly by pressing ctrl+c, but i dont want to press ctrl+c. I'd :like it to finish booting the system and dont hang forever on nfs. : :What can I do? : :Petr I usually tell NFS to do a background mount by specifying the 'bg' option. Making operations interruptable with the 'intr' option is also a good idea in certain cases.
