unmount a cdrom

i finished installing a software package on a test g60 and i'd like to get my cd back. how do i unmount the cd? i'm logged in as root, but when i type in the unmount /dev/dsk/c4t2d0 command it says:

ksh: unmount: not found

the mount worked perfectly. the unmount command is in the /usr/sbin directory

i can't get the man page for unmount either

Re: unmount a cdrom

Hi,

You need to use the 'umount' command
not unmount.

# /usr/sbin/umount /cdrom

or wherever it is actually mounted.

Re: unmount a cdrom

Hi,

#umount /



* be sure you are out of the cdrom_mountpt directory... this might result to a 'device busy' message...

Just a thought...
