Man pages don't help, Google doesn't help... what's the secret? :-)
Cygwin != Linux. This is one area where you see the difference. Cygwin's
mount is really just a mechanism for mapping DOS-style paths and names to
POSIX versions. That's it. There have been some bells and whistles added
over time but there is no Cygwin-specific way to mount ISOs, for example.
So how do you do it? The same way you would in Windows. Get a utility
that mounts the ISO for you and then, if you want to see that ISO under
Cygwin, just access it by its drive name under '/cygdrive'.
