i dont think the cd-rom shows up until there is a cd in the drive,
i dont know myself, the apples i used were imacs, and u just pushed the cd in the slot.

there is sometimes a little hole that you push in with a needle if a disk gets stuck in, try that?
edit: did u try f12?
edit2: had a wee look, and it seems f12 is eject.

Cant help you much with apples, they are like oranges to me, One of these days I am going to have to expand my learning from all the PC's and MCSE stuff to some apple stuff. But a fellow has an apple here in my work and usually he needs to put a cd in first before the drive shows up.
