Im guessing here, did you mount /cdrom then tried to do what you wanted to do........ Yeah, what he is referring to is a common problem. First, you need to place the CD in the cdrom drive (DO NOT MOUNT IT). Next, log in as root and type /stand/sysinstall . Choose "Do post-install configuration of FreeBSD" and then "Install pre-packaged software for FreeBSD". Finally, choose "Install from a FreeBSD CDROM" and choose the packages you want to install. When installing software, the only time you need to mount your cdrom is before you install ports from /usr/ports.
