how to use DVD/CD:
wiki:
# atapicam kernel module needs to be loaded
# HAL has to run at the moment
# Permissions to access /dev/xpt0, /dev/cdN and /dev/passN

add atapicam in /boot/loader.conf file:
atapicam_load="YES"

add HAL in /etc/rc.conf
hald_enable="YES"

add xpt0, cd0 , pass0 in /dev/devfs file:
perm cd0 0660
perm xpt0 0660
perm pass0 0660

reboot FreeBSD8.0

now VirtualBox user can use DVD/CD.
