Hi.. I'm having trouble opening the CD drive after starting mol. I can't open 
it using eject in linux or using the F12 key in OSX.. here's what eject -v 
says (when there's no CD in the drive and I'm trying to put one in):

ibook:/etc/mol# eject -v
eject: using default device `cdrom'
eject: device name is `cdrom'
eject: expanded name is `/dev/cdrom'
eject: `/dev/cdrom' is a link to `/dev/scd0'
eject: `/dev/scd0' is not mounted
eject: `/dev/scd0' is not a mount point
eject: `/dev/scd0' is not a multipartition device
eject: trying to eject `/dev/scd0' using CD-ROM eject command
eject: CD-ROM eject command failed
eject: trying to eject `/dev/scd0' using SCSI commands
eject: SCSI eject failed
eject: trying to eject `/dev/scd0' using floppy eject command
eject: floppy eject command failed
eject: trying to eject `/dev/scd0' using tape offline command
eject: tape offline command failed
eject: unable to eject, last error: Invalid argument

Does this have something to do with the drive being emulated as SCSI? I have a 
DVD+CDRW combo and I use the ide-scsi module...

Thanks,
