You may add the mount command to some startup script if fstab string doesn't work.

Get rid of the -t, the -o and the space after loop: -t and -o are used when using mount from the command line.

ie add this line to your fstab file:

/mandrakedvd.iso /mnt/mandrake iso9660 loop,ro,auto 0 0

@isurus
Still works, copy/paste and edit the paths, for me for a 2010.2 Mandriva x86_64 PowerPack iso. Thanks!
