Address physical CD drive from virtualbox

[Clayton Hinkle]

Sorry if this is in a post somewhere... I searched and I couldn't find it. Should I be able to address a physical CD drive on the FreeNAS server? If so, how? I have tried a number of different things and can't seem to recognize the CD from the Vbox guest.

Personally I only use ISO files for VM stuff. I haven't burned a CD/DVD in years for a VM or real machine

Honestly, I never tried. I've never had a FreeNAS server that had a CDROM drive.

I am wanting to access a bluray I have installed from within Windows. https://wiki.freebsd.org/VirtualBox indicates that I need to:

Host DVD/CD access
atapicam kernel module needs to be loaded via /boot/loader.conf:

atapicam_load="YES"
HAL has to run at the moment so enable it in /etc/rc.conf and start it if not yet done:

hald_enable="YES"

# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/hald start
Your account needs permissions to access /dev/xpt0, /dev/cdN and /dev/passN so add this to /etc/devfs.conf:

perm cd0 0660
perm xpt0 0660
perm pass0 0660

for FreeBSD.

Is there anyway to do this in FreeNAS or would this just screw stuff up (there is no hald installed for example)? Accessing the blu-ray isn't a must have but would be nice it is possible.

Thanks!
