Hi Matthew,

No one has suggested anything on this so far, so i figured i'd throw you 
a suggestion: don't use physical media.  Set up a PXE boot server and 
load your ISO images from PXE rather than physical CDs. You can usually 
control all that via the integrated management card.

There may be an easy way to do what you want (and i'm certain it can be 
done by rebuilding the ISO image without the ejection code), but it's 
probably going to help in other ways to have a PXE server anyway.

Regards,
Paul
