Don't know if this is still there, but there used to be bugs in the
Mitsumi driver that would get it confused sometimes.  You might wish
to try ejecting the CD-ROM and putting it back in again a couple of times.
I think there was some sort of race condition that kept it from sensing
that there was a CD in the drive, but opening the door and closing it
again generally made it feel better.
