I have two dvd-rw drives on this box (10.3) and need to take one out.
What is the recommended procedure for safely removing this ide device?

init 6

I think "init 0" would be a better choice here -

Given that init 6 is reboot, yes, I agree :)

Or "poweroff", which is easier to remember

For the most part correct, but if the removal of the device caused a
re-naming of remaining devices,

That shouldn't happen in 10.3, the devices should all get unique names which
should be static no matter what you put in or remove
