A message is already displayed at the end to notify about reboot.
There is no need to "eject" prior that message. It can be done *after* and have
the message explain a little more:
... Please remove obstables at the front of CD drive. It will
be ejected before reboot takes place
This is a simple way to prevent damage to the CD drive.
