From http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/bootcd.html#netbsd_mountimage :
-----------------------------------
vnconfig -c vnd0 output.iso
mount -t cd9660 /dev/vnd0c /mnt
Please note that on i386 systems, you should use /dev/vnd0d instead of /dev/vnd0c.
Now you can cd to /mnt and explore your newly created CD image.
To unmount the image, do the following:
umount /mnt
vnconfig -u vnd0
-----------------------------------
If that still fails, try as root (might be a permission thing).
