Create a loopback device file with lofiadm:

sol# /usr/sbin/lofiadm -a /img.iso

This will create, for example, /dev/lofi/1 . It can be mounted as follows:

sol# mount -F hsfs -o ro /dev/lofi/1 /mnt/dir1


In general, you can use following command too,
for who want to use short hand method,

sol# mount -F hsfs -o ro
`/usr/sbin/lofiadm -a /img.iso` /mnt/dir1
