One may remove all isohybrid aspects by zeroing the first 32 kB
of the image.
E.g. by writing 32 kB of zeros and appending from the ISO image
everything above 32 kB:

  dd if=/dev/zero bs=2K count=16 >test_image.iso
  dd if=/dvdbuffer/debian-6.0.1a-i386-DVD-1.iso bs=2K skip=16 >>test_image.iso

(which lasts quite long).

The resulting file test_image.iso could then be tried for mounting.


Have a nice day :)
