Creating an ISO in OS X

April 04, 07 by cjgibbs

“To create an ISO image in OS X, use Disk Utility to burn a new image choosing CD/DVD MasterĀ as the Image Format. That creates an image with the cdr extension. Just rename the cdr file extension to iso and there you have it!”

“If you already have a DMG and want to convert it to an ISO, you can use hdiutil to do so:”

$ hdiutil convert discimage.dmg -format UDTO -o output.iso

Found it here.

Mounting an ISO in Solaris

April 03, 07 by cjgibbs

First map the .iso file to a device:

# lofiadm -a /path/to/image.iso /dev/lofi/1

Note: You can mount more images by incrementing the lofi device number (/dev/lofi/2).

Now just mount it like a file system:

# mount -o ro -F hsfs /dev/lofi/1 /mnt/image

The ISO file should now be mounted at /mnt/image
