I saw that /cdrom had changed to cdrom* when I ran my ll alias. The
eject will get me around rebooting the computer. That was the most
irritating part. I couldn't eject and the device was permanently busy
at that point. I was having problems building bluefish port and had to
ftp the package from my Win 2000 Server. That was the only non-FreeBSD
system that could read the CDROM.

I rebuilt my kernel.GENERIC last night on my server. That didn't help
and that is when I added my message to the queue. I had a suggestion
from Sean to use cvsweb to back out the change to atapi-cd.[ch]. 

Thanks,
