>Description:
The Wiki:
https://wiki.freebsd.org/VirtualBox

And section 22.3.3 Virtualbox Host DVD/CD Access both indicate that /etc/devfs.conf needs:

perm cd* 0600
perm xpt0 0660 
perm pass* 0660

However, if the CD/DVD on the host is detected as acd0 then you need:

link acd0    cd0
perm acd* 0600
perm xpt0 0660 
perm pass* 0660

Also, as noted in another PR,  you need to enable ATAPICAM.  From the Wiki:

Host DVD/CD access

atapicam kernel module needs to be loaded via /boot/loader.conf:

atapicam_load="YES"
