title: Loopback mount in OSX
body: <p>I am trying to mount an .img file (rootfs.img) so I can modify the features of the firmware for a derivitive of the 4fff N618 (Pandigital Novel).</p>
  
  <p>I have flashed it with the firmware of the bqAvant and it is fully operational, but I cannot find a way to do a loopback mount with OSX 10.5, neither do I have a cd with a linux distro. The efi won't even let me boot from a usb device using rEFIt.</p>
  
  <p>Using:</p>
  
  <p><code>mount -o loop rootfs.img /mnt/rootfs</code></p>
  
  <p>replies that loop is not supported.</p>
