hello.

i'm having problems with my machine--namely the disk is stuck.  i've
already tried several eject commands, and olc tried to help, but nothing
they've suggested worked.

they told me to type "volrun -k" but i got a message saying
	Shutting done vold now ....Failed.
after i typed "eject", it said
	No default media available
after i typed "eject floppy", it said
	floppy:  No such file or directory.

my machine is in building 37 (#m37-332-5).  it's a Sun workstation.

I'd appreciate it.  i have to log out now, but i'll be back this afternoon.
if you come by and are able to get it out, could you kindly leave it at the
station?

many thanks
