Umm. I'm going to be a pest: If the drive tray is open the very LAST
thing I want is for the device driver to try to close it on me. A
windows box *destroyed* a CD (by scratching the hell out of it) that I
was trying to insert into the machine by closing the drive tray before
I had the CD completely seated. I do not want the same to happen under
FreeBSD just because some program (say, like sysinstall) tries to open
the CD device.
