CD Stuck?

I am running a Sun ultra 30, and I stuck a music cd in the drive and nothing is working, it will not play the disc, eject the disk. I'm not sure if it is mounted or not?  When I go into file manager it shows that there is a cdrom directory and a cdrom0 directory but in the file /etc/vfstab and the mnttab file I'm not sure which of the lines are for the cdrom if any? Any ideas would be great! thanks

If you want to play the CD, you'll need some software like "xmcd", otherwise it won't play just like that. To eject the disk, just logon as root and issue the command "eject". The cdrom won't be in /etc/vfstab, since it's not a permanent mount point. It will just mount the CD automaticaly when you insert a new CD in.

I tried "eject cdrom" & "eject /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0" and neither would work. When I tried the latter it told me that the floppy or cd was busy and to use the former, but with no success. Any other ideas.

I read in a solaris book that you could use something called workman to listen to regular cd, but I don't think that I have that.
The "eject" alone doesn't work ?? Or try "eject -f cd" ??

I got "cdrom0: No such file or directory".  I forgot to mention that I'm running under CDE ver1.0 or ver 1.1 I think. but all of the commands and buttons that I've found on the desktop will not open the cd.  Thanks for your help.

I got it out finally. I turned the power off and after I turned it back on and while it was scanning the disk I jit the manual eject and it came out.  Thanks for your help.
