NOTE:
CAUTION:

Unmounting a CD-ROM Disc Using SAM

Use the following procedure to unmount a CD-ROM disc:
Before you unmount a CD-ROM disc, make sure that your working directory
(the directory in which a relative path name search begins) is set to some
directory other than the one under which the disc was mounted.
If you wish to use a CD-ROM disc as a mounted file system, you must mount
the CD-ROM disc every time you load it into the drive. You must also
unmount the CD-ROM disc every time you unload it from the drive. Failure
to mount or unmount a disc may cause a system error condition that may
require rebooting the system.
Log in as root. If you need information on logging in or setting up a user
