I guess I should have posted my little shell script I use to do this
when I sujested 'eject'. I make a sym link to this script for each slot,
named cd1, cd2, cd3 etc, and when I run them, that slot is selected.
#!/bin/sh
# selects and mounts the correct CD slot based on
# the name of the executable cd1, c2, cd3, cd4
# default to cd1
slot=0
case "$0" in
*cd1)
slot=0
;;
*cd2)
slot=1
;;
*cd3)
slot=2
;;
*cd4)
slot=3
;;
esac
echo "one moment please..."
# unmount it if it's mounted already
if ( grep /etc/mtab -e /mnt/cdrom2 -q ); then
umount /mnt/cdrom2
echo "cdrom unmounted";
fi
eject -c $slot /dev/cdrom2 # select the slot
mount /dev/cdrom2 /mnt/cdrom2 # mount it
