sysvinit-knoppix unmounts the CD with autoeject and asks the user to
remove the CD and close the tray BEFORE powering off. It does NOT
"leave the CD tray open". You should try it.
Also, you can prevent ejection of the CD with the "noeject" boot option
if you are less likely to forget an inserted CD than me.
