I have tried with and without specifying a type (-t reiserfs).  /dev/scd0 was
not in /etc/fstab, as it's never mounted automatically.  Adding it, with a
fstype of either reiserfs or auto, makes no difference; it still wont mount
without a loop device.  If it's in fstab (with a mount point of /mnt for my
tests), I can exclude the device if I want but still specify loop and it
works:

  mount -o loop /mnt

Thanks for the suggestions.  Any other ideas?
