>Description:
FreeBSD Handbook, Section 22.3.2. VirtualBox Host DVD/CD Access
(Note: see https://wiki.freebsd.org/VirtualBox for the source of this information)
In the Wiki, we have:
Host DVD/CD access
atapicam kernel module needs to be loaded via /boot/loader.conf:
atapicam_load="YES"
This is missing in the Handbook. It is necessary.
>How-To-Repeat:
Run VirtualBox without atapicam enabled and you will not be able to access host DVD/CD reader.
>Fix:
Update FreeBSD Handbook documentation.
