disable the Device Removal Message

[Satcomer]

Occasionally I forget to expel a CD or DVD before shutting down. On startup next time I can hear the optical drive whirring but the Mac ignores the keyboard eject button until it's loaded everything from the HD and system to where it should be. I prefer the Win system in terms of being able to remove or eject devices from the main machine.

On a Mac hold down the mouse button at startup to eject a disk.

EXACTLY! AMEN BRUTHA.

@Satcom
Still takes a bit of delay and sometimes won't work till when mac is almost fully booted. Pressing a button on a cd tray and having it eject right-away like on a PC is far superior.
