Is the CD IDE or SCSI?  /dev/scd0 would indicate SCSI, but I thought the
newer machines are mostly IDE.

Normally the IDE CD resides at /dev/hdc

The "eject" key generally will not work in Linux, although there are
various programs folks are working on to enable these "special" keys.
Once we determine what you actual deviceis, you should be able to eject it
using the "eject" command.  In some cases it may just work without
specifying a device:

Please forward:

grep cdrom /etc/fstab

dmesg | grep CD
