Although, I am yet to try this myself (we keep making freesbies
with a special NT program :), you must be able to create a vn-device
device over the file which mkisofs creates (see vnconfig(8) and
/usr/src/sys/i386/conf/LINT):
pushd /dev
./MAKEDEV vn0
popd
vnconfig -c -v /dev/vn0 out.iso
# This example assumes you have vnode support in your kernel
and see if you can mount the device with:
mount -t cd9660 -o ro dev/vn0 /mnt
Good luck!
