cdrom ?

mount -o loop /path/image.iso /mnt/somewhere

Just mount them as a normal CDRom is mounted, add '-o loop' to
indicate it is an image, not a drive.

mount /path/to/fimage.iso /mount/path/ -o loop

Now you can access the contents at /mount/path/...

Are you just trying to mount the ISO image?

# mkdir /mnt/cdimage
# mount -t iso9660 <filename> /mnt/cdimage
# ls /mnt/foo

I forgot to add the -o loop so it would be:
# mount -t iso9660 <filename> -o loop /mnt/cdimage

You mean actually emulate a CD-ROM drive, or would just being able to loopback 
mount the CD image do?

# mkdir /media/iso
# mount -r -o loop my.iso /media/iso
