Can anyone explain why:

   # disk -e /dev/od0a

returns "get info: Inappropriate ioctl for device" when the manual
pages explicitly state that "disk -e" will eject an optical disk?

What I really want to do is to manually mount the OD; umount it
when I'm finished; and then eject the disk (all from a shell
script).

I've used Librarian to search all of the docs for "eject", and
couldn't find anything else pertaining to this.

Thanks in advance for any info...
