An athena user experience the following error using the floptical drive
on the above machine.  The disk will not eject:

I have inserted a floppy on an sgi (namely w20-575-101) but somehow it did not get the message. When I click on the floptical button I get the message that the 
floptical drive is unloaded. Also the disk manager says that it is unloaded.
I typed eject and got the message:
eject: There is no media in the drive.  Make sure you are specifying the right drive.  Exiting.
I logged out and back login and my console says 
UX:sh (/bin/sh): ERROR: diskView: Not found
~/ >Error is 5(Permission Denied)

I even logged in as root without any success.
