This doesn't work with slot-loading iMacs. Or with any slot-loading
macs, for that matter...
Best thing to do is as Clark suggested and hold the mouse key at
startup. Or, if you can boot it into the firmware, (hold down option
as it boots, if you get boot device icons that's the firmware) then as
soon as the cursor no longer indicates loading, press Apple+E on the
keyboard, (or the eject key on newer keyboards) and the drive will
eject the disk. (If it's not physically stuck). It depends on which
model of iMac it is, I believe later model slot-loaders had the
"option" firmware.
