[OpenIndiana-discuss] How to mount ISO image on boot?

Hello all,

>From the command line, I can mount an iso image using mount directly
(without having to invoke lofiadm):
# mount -F hsfs /path/to/my.iso /mountpath

I've tried adding a line to /etc/vfstab to have this done automatically on boot:
/path/to/my.iso - /mountpath hsfs - yes -

But when I try to mount it I get:
mount: Invalid argument

Have I just got the vfstab entry wrong, or can this not be done?
What's the recommended way to achieve the goal of having the iso
mounted on boot?

Thanks,
Nye
