     I always use "-r", i.e. "# mount -r -t cd9660 /dev/vnd0a /mnt".
I don't know if that would be a factor or not, but certainly you're
never going to write to a CD image.

} # mount -t cd9660 /dev/vnd0d /mnt

} but that didn't work, nor did using vnd0d.

    CDs don't have disklabels (unless it is a Sun CD), so that is
a fake label.  If you did "disklabel -r vnd0" (-r forces a read
from disk), it would likely tell you that there isn't a label.
