There are several options to eject a CD or DVD when the mac mini fails to boot, but most of them dont work if you do not have a mac keayboard at hand. The following options work with a PC keayboard and mouse:

Press the left mouse key while you restart the mac or as alternative press [F12] while the mac is restarted. You have to keep the key pressed until the CD is ejected.

   won’t work if you are using a wireless keyboard and mouse. if you happen to have a usb mouse, plug it in and hold the left mouse button when rebooting.

     In my case it WORKED with a wireless keyboard as well. Just hold F12 as the computer boots, and keep holding it.
