If you don't use CD/DVD drives, you can stop reading.
With the recent integration of:

        PSARC 2009/058 physical eject button
        6795138 Solaris ignores eject button on optical drives

pressing Eject button on CD/DVD drive's front panel will have
the same effect as typing 'eject' in the terminal or clicking
the corresponding GUI icon in the File Browser. Most modern
drives support this feature, though some older ones don't.

You may see a harmless pop-up message "Unable to unmount volume"
due to GNOME bug http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=9805 .
It can be safely ignored, but if it bothers you, the workaround is:

svccfg -s rmvolmgr setprop rmvolmgr/eject_button=boolean: false
svcadm restart rmvolmgr

The side effect is being able to use physical eject button only with
a GNOME session running, not when logged into the text console.

Enjoy,
-Artem
