Hi all,

New NetBSD user, having trouble.

Fresh install of NetBSD 1.6.2.

Trying to mount an iso file (one of the package iso's) using:
vnconfig -v vnd0 i386pkg2.iso
mount -r -t cd9660 /dev/rvnd0d /mnt

I see the above lines - or variants of them - all over the web, but

I get the message
mount_cd9660: /dev/rvnd0d on /mnt: Block device required

Can anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Cheers.

Julian.
