I have in the past used a loopback filesystem feature
of linux to verify a cdrom image prior to burning it
onto a blank. Also, it is useable for making floppy
disk images. 

Is there a method of mounting a file in loopback mode
as a filesystem in NetBSD? I don't see it in the man
pages, or mentioned in any options. Just entire file
system partitions are mentioned.

If I am just missing something, where is it documented.
Assuming that it is not existant, is there a particular
reason that it is not included in NetBSD?
