Nah, You still have to CD to /cdrom, so it still thinks the disk is
active and so cannot be politely unmounted.

I have tried forcing an unmount (umount -f) and ejecting the cd the
crude way with a paperclip, but is still will not correctly read the
second cd until it has been cleanly umounted and mounted.

More ideas?
