CD/DVD empty Freenas Host w/phpVirtualBox
I apologize if I've posted in the wrong area. However, I didn't see a Virtualbox on Freenas host category or any post related to my issue. I have Freenas 9.3 installed with 16GB of RAM. The CD/DVD drive works fine. I used it to install Freenas. I installed Virtualbox 4.3.12 which comes with Freenas. I log into Virtualbox and am able to create a VM and am ready to target an ISO but seemed to either be stumpped or vb is having trouble recognizing my ODD. I am a newby here so please bear with me. I have attached a few screen shots. The first is of the virtual media manager and with a disk in the drive with an iso image on it, it is blank. To the left in this shot you can see in Storage that CD/DVD is "empty". Second, in the guest OS settings you can see the disk dropdown only gives me the one option and no ODD. Third, is the screenshot of locating a virtual image which I have no idea how to access or begin to place one there which may be off topic. I've searched the internet and somehow I'm not getting what others are getting. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Re: CD/DVD empty Freenas Host
It turns out that I am running phpVirtualBox and not the standard VirtualBox. Not sure if this matters.

Apparently Freenas isn't into ODDs and thus after much searching found the answer to my problem. Here it is....http://www.rexxue.com/2015/04/13/instal ... freenas-2/
