[ale] IDE cdrom umount and eject

[Geoffrey Myers]

}I have IDE cdroms on my system at home and at work.  If I
}happen to hit the eject button before unmounting the cdrom
}successive umount commands give me a device busy error.
}I can't figure out how to force it to unmount so I end up 
}rebooting eventually.  

I've assumed that there is a new feature the later kernels.  That is, when
I have a cdrom mounted, my eject button does not eject.  Once I unmount it,
then it works.  Just an option, kernel upgrade????   Anyway, as everyone
knows, I haven't read all the docs with the new kernels, but those I have
read, I haven't seen any mention of this.  Anyone else experience this?

}Also, does anyone if there is an eject command for the IDE cdroms?
}I'd like to have a shell script that unmounts and ejects the cdrom
}then closes and mounts the new cdrom.  Any suggestions would be 
}greatly appreciated, even if it's just the name of a FAQ.
