I'm trying to upgrade from 2.0.1 to 2.1.  I've had this PC box running
BSDI for over a year now, never any problems.  And now I want to upgrade
the software and I can't get the CD-ROM drive to open up (eject?) so
that I can put the disk in.  Is there a special UNIX command to get it
to open up and swallow...or do I just have a bum CD-ROM device.  I've
never had to use it since new...so I don't know if it's broken or if I
need to issue a command.  Anyone know, please e-mail me.
