if you have super user access, you can do it with either the disk or unmount
command.  If you want to get the disk out, type disk -e /dev/rod0a.
The -e is eject and /dev/rod0a is the path for the raw optical disk 0.

unmount works similiar, but with the /dev/od0a.  First type "mount" to 
find all of the mounted devices.  the type umount all of the optical disk
devices that you do not want.

If you do not have super user access, then find someone who does.
