That mdconfig command allows you to mount the .iso disc image file as if 
it were a disk. But it sounds like you have burned an actual physical 
DVD, which is a different situation. If you're trying to install FreeBSD 
onto this machine, the procedure would be to boot from that DVD and 
follow the prompts. If there's anything on this machine you want to 
keep, back it up first :^)
