Did you try using the eject command? Do you get an error message when you umount or can you just not take the CD out?

the eject command comes back with an error that it is not recognized and when you try to umount /mnt/cdrom.....it says that the device is busy. it says it is busy cause it is the op system but when i use -cdcache it should cache the op sys so that the drive can be used but it isnt working.
