I've tried msdos.util, but can't figure out the syntax.

I have a hybrid disc half HFS+ and half ISO-9660. I can't figure out how to force the ISO half to mount.

Another trick that works with DVDs is holding down the option key while mounting, but DVDs are UDF, so it's not applicable to CDs.

Great question! Been wondering this same thing too.. haven't found a solution though, so I still end up whipping out VPC to test my hybrid cd's.

Have you tried Disk Utility? It should see both partitions and let you click the "mount" button on the ISO one. (I've not tried this myself, however).

One workaround is to use Toast to make an image of the disc. When toast completes a hybrid image, it mounts both partitions.

Disk Utility will only mount the HFS+ side.

Another possibility is hdiutil. Lots and lots of options and commands in that sucker.
