Here's how to mount an iso image loopback

losetup /dev/loop quake3.iso
mount -t iso9660 /dev/loop /quakecd
cd /quakecd

that's it!

use losetup -d /dev/loop to remove the association between the device and file
But realistically I not 100% sure why his burner ejects the disc, then tries
to read it again.  A big question: does the burned CD work or is it a coaster?
