Interesting idea. How do you call eject -t after you removed the CD with
your system binaries? Ok, you explained it below.

That requires a certain amount of additional ram, which may not be
available and could be avoided by putting the necessary system calls
into sysvinit as well.

Well, you can just do a source diff to see what I patched. The comments in the
source could be helpful, too.
Also, the sysvinit-knoppix package contains the startup/shutdown init
scripts that are specific for Knoppix, and the /etc/inittab.
