cd0 is containing windows drivers on pseudo-CD interface. On my Merlin 
device simple ejecting cd0 is enabling 3 data interfaces from which one 
can be used to connect to the mobile network. However some devices have 
builtin quirk in u3g to make that automagicaly. You can try issuing 
cdcontrol -f /dev/cd0 eject and observe what new is showing in 
/var/log/messages or dmesg.
da0 is probably microSD card reader.
