Target system: HP Pavilion laptop 4GB ram 500 GB hard drive 32bit Intel i3 Tray loading dvd device with eject button
This is a triple-boot system. FreeBSD 10.0, Debian kfreebsd-i386, and Debian i386 are installed. I've updated the /boot/grub/grub.cfg to have menu items for all 3 systems.

The media in the cdrom tray is Wheezy 7.0.0 kfreebsd-i386 DVD 1. Hitting the eject button on the dvd tray opens the tray, which is often essential to perform dvd exchange when installing a package. This bug is important because I'm also installing kfreebsd systems on 3 Macs that don't have eject buttons. On these, he only way to eject is to restart with mouse down or boot into another operating system like Debian i386 that honors eject.
