Like this:

[root@pc isos]# ls -lhsCF sy*
110M systemrescuecd-x86-0.2.15.iso
[root@pc isos]# mount systemrescuecd-x86-0.2.15.iso /mnt/temp -o ro,loop
[root@pc isos]# mount | grep sys
/mnt/auto/dvd2b/isos/systemrescuecd-x86-0.2.15.iso on /mnt/temp type iso9660 (ro,loop=/dev/loop1)
[root@pc isos]# ls /mnt/temp
bootdisk isolinux loadlin manual oscar syslinux sysrcd.dat
[root@pc isos]#
