Well, I fiddled a bit around, and found following:
- eject /dev/sr0 (the only CD drive in the test machine, being used for live
CD) works even from the live system (which of course is not usable at all
afterwards). Quite a surprise for me.
- I can (relatively safely) sync all filesystems, remount them read-only, eject
the media and reboot (except ejecting the media via /proc/sysrq-trigger)
The downside of this approach is that the CD tray gets closed immediately (as
BIOS always does while initializing); inserting some sleeps could work, but
since sleep is not bash internal command, it will be pure luck if it works
(relying on cache); running any commands inbetween will be even less reliable
IMO. On the other hand, for laptops, which are gaining majority, this problem
is not relevant.
Of course, the live installation can finish with a two-button pup-up, where
user can choose wheter to continue working with the live system or reboot
immediately. Stefan, what do you think about this request? Do you want it for
the live installer?
