/dev/loop# missing
Hi folks.
I'm trying to mount an iso image with the loop device but it's gone!
I just typed this (as root): mount /bla/bla/xxx.iso /mnt/iso -o loop
And it gives me:
mount: could not find any device /dev/loop#
Where is my loop device?!?!
Thanks.

Re: /dev/loop# missing
You can add "loop" to rc.conf (MODULES array)

Re: /dev/loop# missing
Kernel devs decided to move loop into an external module.
