As suggested by others, mount it and read it.  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!
