You can try running fstat -f /cdrom, and see who's holding a file on
the CD.  There's also a chance for the ``live filesystem'' CD of
FreeBSD that the kernel got confused by device nodes that are on the
CD and are currently open (like /dev/console, which is always open).

If all else fails, unmount it forcibly (umount -f).  That's one of the
features i love in 4.4BSD. :-)

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
