Mount a iso without using lofiadm

We usually mount an iso in Solaris using lofiadm.

Apparently we can skip the lofiadm steps & mount the iso directly as an hsfs file system as follows:

bash-3.2# pwd
/iso
bash-3.2# ls
sol-10-u9-ga-sparc-dvd.iso
bash-3.2#

To mount the iso run the following command:

mount -F hsfs /iso/sol-10-u9-ga-sparc-dvd.iso /mnt

The 'df -h' output will look like as follows:

/iso/sol-10-u9-ga-sparc-dvd.iso
                       2.1G   2.1G         0K   100%    /mnt
