Mounting a cdrom in pfsense
-
Pardon me if this has been answered elsewhere on the forums.
How do I mount a cdrom in pfsense, I am trying to install vmware-tools from the cd not the opensource ones and I cannot figure out for the life of me how to make the cdrom show up. I fine with windows but freeBSD is whole other beast.
Thank you for anyone's time in advance.

Go to a shell.
Make a directory to mount the CD at:
mkdir /tmp/cdrom
Mount the CD:
mount_cd9660 /dev/acd0 /tmp/cdrom
CD is now mounted at /tmp/cdrom
When finished unmount:
umount /tmp/cdromNote: If your cdrom device is not acd0, check the bootup messages for the proper device.
