If you are in the "/cdrom" directory or wherever you have it mounted, 
FreeBSD considers you to be actively accessing the drive, so it will 
not let you umount it, thinking that you might corrupt the filesystem. 
In essence, anytime you or anything on the system is looking at or 
accessing it, you cannot umount.
