A linux geek starts playing with a MacMini (part2)
Or How to eject a CD from a MacMini drive, the linux way
So I tried installing BootCamp, then booted into an Ubuntu CD , everything was happening way to fast ... and by the time I had actually read about the need of certain drivers such as disk controller my Ubuntu was failing to partition. No problem, let's try rebooting.. hmm.. it got stuck .. and even worse the CD wouldn't come out.
No eject button on the device .. and no paperclip trick as ages ago ... now what to do..
Firewire to the rescue, I connected the MacMini to my laptop , rebooted the it in Target mode and before I realised some new drives popped up on my laptop, from there I could do an eject /dev/sda and the CD came out.
