>Description:

	In theory anyway, CD-ROM decices (the SCSI ones, anyway) can be
	induced to eject their loaded media via proper use of the `CDIOCEJECT'
	ioctl control code.

	An equivalent capability should be provided also for floppies, and
	indeed for *all* forms of removable media drives that provide this
	type of capability.

>How-To-Repeat:

	RTFM (`man fdc')

>Fix:

	Manually eject the media.
