I guess yes, he could use fstab. Just using the iso instead of the
node name and giving it the loop option should work, if all he
wants is to permanently mount an iso that will always live in the
same place.

ivman is for automounting, again, here, what would be the "trigger" that
will tell ivman "mount this iso that appeared here in I don't know what
place"?

The problem here is that I don't visualize too well the true aim of
the original poster. But well, there he has some ideas to try already :)
