The command mount /cdrom will work if /cdrom exists as an empty directory, and if /cdrom is defined in the /etc/fstab file. If not, do the following, as root: mkdir /cdrom mount -t cd9660 /dev/acd0c /cdrom cd /cdrom ls -l (This assumes your CD is acd0c; you can run the command dmesg to get a list of devices if you need to). You can then look around on the CD. It contains a copy of all the files that get created on your hard disk when you install FreeBSD; such as all those in /bin, /sbin and many more. Now - I shall probably get jumped on by others for replying to questions on the newbie list, so I had better stop!
