I had similar problems once upon a time.

You *can* use eject to eject just about anything.

"eject -d /dev/rcd2d -t cdrom" should work.  See the note in the
eject(1) manpage for the -t option.

The trouble is, there is no single way to eject.  You have to do it
differently depending on whether you're talking to the cd driver or the
floppy driver or the tape driver or whatever.  (When I looked, I think
there were only two or three different ways, with some of the -t
arguments being treated identically.  I don't know whether this is
still true.)  This is why -t is necessary when the device is not one
eject knows about, since then it doesn't know how to eject it - you
have to tell it.
