Unable to play DVDs -- Problem with mount point and Totem

I am trying to play DVDs via Totem. OS is Suse 10 (or OpenSuse 1.0).

Followed the instructions typically given to do this (The Jem Report =>
http://www.thejemreport.com/mambo/content/view/178/42/)

However, I am unable to mount DVD drive. When I start up Totem, and
select option, "play CD/DVD" it gives me this error message:

Failed to play Audio/Video Disc

Failed to find mountpoint for device /dev/hdb in /etc/fstab.

My current /etc/fstab file has the following entries:

/dev/hda1 / reiserfs acl,user_xattr
1 1
/dev/hda5 swap swap defaults
0 0
proc /proc proc defaults
0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs noauto
0 0
usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs noauto
0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts mode=0620,gid=5
0 0
/dev/dvd /media/dvd subfs
noauto,fs=cdfss,ro,procuid,nosuid,nodev,exec,iocharset=utf8 0 0
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy subfs
noauto,fs=floppyfss,procuid,nodev,nosuid,sync 0 0
none /subdomain subdomainfs noauto 0 0
/dev/dvd2 /media/dvd2 subfs
noauto,fs=cdfss,ro,procuid,nosuid,nodev,exec,iocharset=utf8 0 0
/dev/sda1 /usb1 auto noauto,user 0 0

How do I add such an entry? It looks like an entry for the DVD drive
already exits: /media/dvd and /media/dvd2 (I am assuming the double
entries are for both cdrom and DVD reading ability?).

Thanks for your help.
