Hi James,
The 'loop=/dev/loop0' is the loopback device that the ISO image will be
mounted from, just like /deb/hda1 for a partition. You are using lookback
arn't you?
the '1 1' at the end tells mount what priority the mounts have. The root
partition should be '0 0', which means mount first, unmount last. Followed by
real partitions at '1 1' and lookbacks to an ISO on at partition should be
'2 2' but '1 1' works for me.
