Hi,

(cc'ing debian-bsd@lists.debian.org again)

Urm ... before we dig deeper with burn programs:
Is your laptop drive physically able to eject, at all ?

Many laptop drives need the mechanical power of the user
to come out. I.e. if you have to press the eject button
with some force and if no electric motor is to hear,
then probably it cannot eject on its own.

--------------------------------------------------------
Only if it does have a motor to eject the tray, it is
worth to try on:

I am clueless how to install the packages without internet
access. Maybe one of the bystanders can help.

If you can get somehow

  http://www.gnu.org/software/xorriso/xorriso-1.3.8.tar.gz

and transport it somehow to your machine, you may
put xorriso-1.3.8.tar.gz into your $HOME directory
and do:

  cd $HOME
  tar xzf xorriso-1.3.8.tar.gz
  cd xorriso-1.3.8
  ./configure --prefix=/usr
  make
  xorriso/xorriso -version

If the last of these commands tells you:

  GNU xorriso 1.3.8 : RockRidge filesystem manipulator, libburnia project.
  ...
  There is NO WARRANTY, to the extent permitted by law.

then you are ready for the eject test:

   $HOME/xorriso/xorriso -outdev /dev/cd0 -eject all

(Note that xorriso is not installed at this moment but
 already can used by its absolute file address.
 All its files are contained in $HOME/xorriso-1.3.8.
 So you may easily remove them by removing that file tree.)

If xorriso says that no device is usable, then have a look
at the file permissions of /dev/cd0 :

  ls -l /dev/cd0

You need rw-permission for the user who wants to operate
the drive. Most liberal and insecure would be this setting:

  chmod a+rw /dev/cd0

This chmod setting is supposed to vanish when you reboot.

Maybe the kFreeBSD experts here can tell you whether the
following permanent permission setting receipe for FreeBSD 8
is valid on Debian/kFreeBSD too:

---------------------------------------------------------
Edit /etc/devfs.rules and make sure to have these lines
  [localrules=10]
  add path 'acd*' mode 0664 group floppy
  add path 'cd*' mode 0664 group floppy
  add path 'pass*' mode 0664 group floppy
  add path 'xpt*' mode 0664 group floppy
  [localrules=5]
  add path 'pass*' mode 0664 group floppy
  add path 'cd*' mode 0664 group floppy
  add path 'xpt*' mode 0664 group floppy
  add path 'acd*' mode 0664 group floppy

Edit /etc/rc.conf and add the following line if missing
  devfs_system_ruleset="localrules"

This gets into effect by reboot or by command
  /etc/rc.d/devfs start
---------------------------------------------------------

If setting of permissions does not help, learn xorriso's
absulute file path:

  echo "absolute path: $HOME/xorriso/xorriso"

become superuser (aka user name "root") and execute

  ...above.absolute.path.to.xorriso... -devices

to learn about available drive addresses.


Have a nice day :)

Thomas
