Even after rebooting, the drive was still going crazy trying to read the 
disc.  How can I kill that without rebooting?  I had to reboot again just 
to eject the disc between POST and GRUB.

I think it may be that this particular CD-ROM drive isn't fully supported 
by Gentoo, or somehow Gentoo is using different drivers than Fedora. It's 
a very cheap CD-ROM, but I'd still like to get it functioning correctly.

I was quite surprised when the CD-RW drive read the disc as I thought 
that I'd tried that before and it had failed.
