Hi VBox Team:
Many thanks for all your work to get VBox running on FreeBSD. I am trying
to use a program called Rosetta Stone on WinXP, but I am having trouble
with the DVD drive.
I was able to install the application from the CD. However, the way the
program works I need to access a disk in the DVD drive that has data the
program needs.

virtualbox-ose-3.2.6 A general-purpose full virtualizer for x86 hardware

As per the wiki I tried to set the following, but it did not work:
the example config of /etc/devfs.conf:
perm cd0 0660
perm xpt0 0660
perm pass0 0660
When I insert the DVD, Windows reads the disk and opens a window called
"Autoplay Application". In the window there is a button that says Run
Rosetta Stone. When I click on the Run button, I get a error window
"Cannot locate the DVD-ROM". The message in the window says "Please
insert the correct DVD-ROM, and restart application". So, the problem is
that I cannot read from the DVD drive inside a WinXP VM. Any advice would
be really appreciated.
Thanks in advance
