I left the other stuff in as I was not sure of the impact on other parts of the VirtualBox operation. I discovered that VirtualBox apparently looks for cd0, as when I did not have that device it did not display a selection for the host drive. On another note, a couple of other applications appear to insist on /dev/cdrom, so I have the line: link acd0 cdrom in my devfs.conf. --------------070700030208080209090602 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit <html> <head> <meta content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" http-equiv="Content-Type"> </head> <body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000"> <div class="moz-cite-prefix">On 09/05/13 10:55, Adam Vande More wrote:<br> </div> <blockquote cite="mid:CA+tpaK3o-kxmN7L38jB8QJA_+4GN2EzUoJrtepRypEmEwEPfdw@mail.gmail.com" type="cite"> <div dir="ltr"> <div class="gmail_extra"> <div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Sep 5, 2013 at 12:23 PM, Patrick Powell <span dir="ltr"><<a moz-do-not-send="true" href="mailto:papowell@astart.com" target="_blank">papowell@astart.com</a>></span> wrote:<br> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><br> >Number: 181845<br> >Category: docs<br> >Synopsis: Virtualbox Host Setup needs acd0 in /etc/devfs.conf, also enable atapicam<br> >Confidential: no<br> >Severity: non-critical<br> >Priority: low<br> >Responsible: freebsd-doc<br> >State: open<br> >Quarter:<br> >Keywords:<br> >Date-Required:<br> >Class: doc-bug<br> >Submitter-Id: current-users<br> >Arrival-Date: Thu Sep 05 17:30:00 UTC 2013<br> >Closed-Date:<br> >Last-Modified:<br> >Originator: Patrick Powell<br> >Release: 8.4<br> >Organization:<br> Astart Technologies<br> >Environment:<br> FreeBSD laptop_84.private 8.4-RELEASE FreeBSD 8.4-RELEASE #0 r251259: Sun Jun 2 21:26:57 UTC 2013 <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:root@bake.isc.freebsd.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC">root@bake.isc.freebsd.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC</a> amd64<br> <br> >Description:<br> The Wiki:<br> <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="https://wiki.freebsd.org/VirtualBox" target="_blank">https://wiki.freebsd.org/VirtualBox</a><br>; <br> And section 22.3.3 Virtualbox Host DVD/CD Access both indicate that /etc/devfs.conf needs:<br> <br> perm cd* 0600<br> perm xpt0 0660<br> perm pass* 0660<br> <br> However, if the CD/DVD on the host is detected as acd0 then you need:<br> <br> link acd0 cd0<br> perm acd* 0600<br> perm xpt0 0660<br> perm pass* 0660<br> <br> Also, as noted in another PR, you need to enable ATAPICAM.
