First you have to mount the cdrom - mount /cdrom Make sure the cdrom is mounted before you try the make install. Otherwise, use /stand/sysinstall (don't mount the cdrom first), do a "post install configuration", " add pre packaged software", "from a freebsd cd", browse the cd, select the item you want, and OK, then Install.
