[ale] cdrom commands

[Dow Hurst]

Sure, type "eject" at the command line and most likely the cdrom will auto unmount and eject the current CD.  I believe you can select from multiple cdroms if you point the eject command to the right device.

eject hdd
eject -f fd0

At least, that is what the man page for eject indicates.  Several command line based programs for working with devices exist such as to play a cd.
