OS X 10.4.10 with VMWare installed. Have GNUstep Live 1.0 CD and booting. No problem until I force quit during a reinstall of GNUstep attempt while trying to save time between reboots of the VM. Now CD is stuck in drive, and both the above drutil tray eject and drutil tray eject 1 do not work. Disk util does not see the device, or the CD media in said device. Time to reboot (shame on apple) to eject a CD. I thought times had advanced to the point where software was tested and the OS wouldn't get confused like this... I guess not.

Disk Utility is aware of loaded devices that are not mounted. I would also think that you could open Disk Utility and eject the disk from there.
