It should be tought how to mount any device as a non UFS or NFS
filesystem, such as /dev/fd0 as MSDOS. There is no reason just to
special case CD9660 devices. It would be nice to handle generic
removable media actually, so you can run Iomega Zip & so on under
AMD. Preferably without the bogosity of Solaris's ``vold'' :-(
