Hello!

I have a few *.iso CD images and i want to create a memory disks for
each one under AIX 5.1 and mount them as CD9660 file system.

It was really easy to do it under FreeBSD 5.2.1:

    mdconfig -a -t vnode -f /image.iso -u 0
    mount_cd9660 /dev/md0 /mnt/memdisk

Is it possible to do this under AIX?
If yes, then how can i do this?
