It's trying to eject either the external or the internal drive, probably the external. If you do not have it on your /etc/fstab file (or NetInfo), this could be the cause. The autonfsmounter program sometimes does this. As to what a proper entry would look like, well, look at the example for the 105 meg drive. Might take some fiddling, or someone might have the correct fstab entry already. ------ Mike Matthews, matthews@lewhoosh.umd.edu (NeXT)/matthews@umdd (bitnet) ------ A Lisp programmer knows the value of everything, but the cost of nothing. -- Alan Perlis
