Guilmette >Release: FreeBSD 3.3-RELEASE i386 >Organization: E-Scrub Technologies, Inc. >Environment: >Description: In theory anyway, CD-ROM decices (the SCSI ones, anyway) can be induced to eject their loaded media via proper use of the `CDIOCEJECT' ioctl control code. An equivalent capability should be provided also for floppies, and indeed for *all* forms of removable media drives that provide this type of capability. >How-To-Repeat: RTFM (`man fdc') >Fix: Manually eject the media. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
