What you are trying to do here is to mount /dev/iso9660/freebsd for the
second time? This is not supported. The check is there to prevent doing
this, as it will panic on you when you try to unmount first mount (not
really a problem in your case, as the first mount is /, so you probably
don't want to unmount it, but it is a problem in general).

You should be able to reproduce the panic with your patch applied by
doing the following:

	# mount -t cd9660 /dev/iso9660/freebsd /mnt0
	# mount -t cd9660 /dev/iso9660/freebsd /mnt1
	# umount /mnt0
