Just to clarify the "keying the dvd/cdrom tray button" method.
You don't just bounce on the button or key it at any particular stage.
You need to just key it "once" when the light momenterily comes on at the bios hw detection stage.
That should provided the extended live period that SBM needs to read the drives status/id info. And then be able to reference it.
