  | vnd is very usable - for example to mount CD images

Yes, I know.   I just meant that (apart from making the dist floppies
I believe) there's nothing in the NetBSD system that uses them.
Anything else will be something you're doing yourself, in which case
you will know that using vnd isn't an option (if you didn't config it).

It would be nicer if vnd allowed read only mounts when the underlying
file is read only, instead of just quitting (ie: returning EROFS), but
it is still useful as it is (I have this CD that I asked someone to make
for me, and gave them the ISO image to put on it - what I got back was a
CD containing a single file, the ISO image file...   vnd should have given
me access to that directly, but doesn't, because of the read only problem).
