Hello there
* The bug is reproducible
* To reproduce the bug, start ivman as root on a machine without CDROM or
DVDROM drive (phisically detach it if necessary prior testing)
In case it matters my machine is a thinclient(*) and it doesn't have a
CD or DVD drive.
Cheers

- The solution is simple, add code to check the presence of cdrom before
- trying to use it (borrowed from debian package)
