      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/cdrom

        Note: If your cdrom device is not acd0, check the bootup messages for the proper device.
