>Description:
^C to get out of /stand/sysinstall after deciding that you really
didn't want to install anything after all will disable the CD-ROM
drive. Rebooting is then necessary to use the CD (even to get the
disc out).
>How-To-Repeat:
1) su
2) /stand/sysinstall
3) 'Configure'
4) 'Packages'
5) 'CDROM'
6) sysinstall is very uncooperative about backing out after this
   point, and I really don't feel like hanging the CD again today.
   Go the anything ('graphics' for example), then try to get out
   of sysinstall. ^C will do it, but the CD drive is likely to
   never work again. (Mine is SCSI, if that helps)

State-Changed-Why:  
I suspect this is because the CD is now mounted.  Type 'mount' to 
see for sure.  If you see /cdrom in the list of output, then type 
'umount /cdrom' to unmount it.  If this isn't the case then please 
try the latest stable version, 3.2.  If that still doesn't help 
please file another PR with a real Email address so that when someone 
attempts to help you with the problem you reported, you will get 
the reply and they won't get an "undeliverable mail" error.  Thanks.

    Next time, try the 'mount' command after you leave sysinstall.
 You will find that the CDROM is actually mounted.  Unmount it and
 you can eject the disc.
