What if you omit -t?

Maybe you should also specify the mount point as an absolute path ( I mean just cd1 is not that clear, not that the system get confused with symlinks in /dev? )

thanks for the quick responses!

if i omit the '-t', i get the help file.

if i give full paths to mount point and image, i get the exact same error!

Re: [SOLVED] i'm trying to mount an iso

Here's what you need:

# mknod /dev/loop0 b 7 0
# mknod /dev/loop1 b 7 1
... (# iso's you want to mount)

# mount -t iso9660 -o loop /path/to/cdimage /mnt/mount_point
