I have a machine with a fair number of cdrom drives (2 changers and a
regular single).  They're all IDE.

The 'shutdown' process appears to cycle through each drive (probably
unmounting it).  Is it really necessary to access a cdrom while
unmounting?  In my case it makes the difference of about 30 seconds.  
The bootup mounts I put into rc.local with &'s behind the mount commands
(works well, as it doesn't bog down the rest of the bootup while
mounting).

Thanks,
	Rod Taylor
