State Changed From-To: open->closed I suspect this is because the CD is now mounted. Type 'mount' to see for sure. If you see /cdrom in the list of output, then type 'umount /cdrom' to unmount it. If this isn't the case then please try the latest stable version, 3.2. If that still doesn't help please file another PR with a real Email address so that when someone attempts to help you with the problem you reported, you will get the reply and they won't get an "undeliverable mail" error. Thanks.

(Mine is SCSI, if that helps) Next time, try the 'mount' command after you leave sysinstall. You will find that the CDROM is actually mounted. Unmount it and you can eject the disc. -- Chris Costello <chris@calldei.com> People who deal with bits should expect to get bitten. - Jon Bentley |
^C to get out of /stand/sysinstall after deciding that you really didn't want to install anything after all will disable the CD-ROM drive. Rebooting is then necessary to use the CD (even to get the disc out). How-To-Repeat: 1) su 2) /stand/sysinstall 3) 'Configure' 4) 'Packages' 5) 'CDROM' 6) sysinstall is very uncooperative about backing out after this point, and I really don't feel like hanging the CD again today. Go the anything ('graphics' for example), then try to get out of sysinstall. ^C will do it, but the CD drive is likely to never work again. (Mine is SCSI, if that helps)
