Same problem, you need atapicam as it only works with SCSI.  The
sysutils/eject command was brought back to my attention, and it looks
like the root-exploitable buffer overflows have been fixed.  I'll try to
evaluate this as a possible solution.

Previously, we did use cdcontrol to eject the CDs, but this was sloppy
for the reason listed above.  It would be nice tofind a solution that
works with all CDs regardless of atapicam.
