sorry my typo:
eject /dev/hdc
eject /dev/hdd
with drawer closed first :-)
if you still get bash "eject not found" error post

"At the prompt I typed 'eject hdc', the result -bash: eject: command not 
found."

to the list and see if you catch a bash jock.

are you able to see files on cd?
if so some invisible typo is hosing fstab, looking around i have seen people 
claiming the error message was cleared by using auto instead of iso9660 and 
users instead of user

try:
dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom auto auto,users 0 0
in fstab using spaces not tabs to separate the elements with no spaces in an 
element
