How can I continue?

You can switch to a second console with Alt+F2 (or it may be Ctl/Apple
key - long time since I worked on my mac)

That should give you a root shell to type 'eject'

Worth a try.  Or else you can extract it manually with a straightened
paper-clip - if you pull down the cdrom flap you should see a hole to
push the clip into.

Alt+F2 is available during the entire installation.  Thanks!

I do not see an nv driver for X and am going to select vga. I wonder if the driver selections would have been different had I selected XDM or KDM.
