I just install solaris 9 and for some reason it will not see or eject any
cdroms or DVD's from it. HELP
The system is a V880

Did you perform any system hardening? If so you want to ensure that
you did not disable smserverd RPC program. Also ensure that S74autofs
startup script is enabled.

The most common problem is that Sun requires an inetd.conf entry to
run for the cdrom/dvdrom automounting to function in Solaris 9. Make
sure that rpc.smserverd isn't commented out of inetd.conf and inetd is
running.

I was bitten by this recently...is it just me, or is that a really dumb place
to put a daemon required for local drive mounting?

Yea, my thoughts exactly. I normally do not run inetd so this is really
bothersome.
