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

[Michael Stapleton]

I have a bit more time to answer more fully now.


Add a line to the /etc/auto_master file for a direct map

# cat /etc/auto_master

# Master map for automounter
#
+auto_master
/net		-hosts		-nosuid,nobrowse
/home		auto_home	-nobrowse
/-		auto_direct


Create the direct map /etc/auto_direct with an entry like this:

/cdrom -fstype=hsfs	:/ISO/xp.iso

replace "/cdrom" with where you want the iso mounted,  replace
"/ISO/xp.iso" with the path to your iso file.


Run automount:

# automount -v

Cd to your mountpoint and the iso should be automatically mounted.
