We have the same problem as you and we also redirect the volume manager > One problem we've encountered is that Solaris reserves the directory

to use /vold instead of /vol. I can usually get the cdrom to eject by
using "eject /vold/dev/rdsk/c0t6/*" or something like that. To get floppies
to eject, use "eject /vold/dev/rdiskette0"
