This is because the CD/DVD is not mounted. Now, if it were mounted,
you would have the unmount option from the icon. You could also run
"umount <device>" or "umount <mount point>" from the command line.
(If you have permission to unmount it, or run the command as root.)
An entry in /etc/fstab has never been a requirement for unmounting.
AN entry in /etc/mtab helps, but even that is not necessary. As long
as it is listed in /proc/mounts is all that is really necessary. You
can get the mounted devices/mount points by running mount.
