You are missing the point. For the automounter to work properly, you
need to have a place to mount the DVD. In this version and I suspect
10.1, the mount point is not being created. Hence you can not mount the
DVD. The trick with the fstab creates a place for the automounter to
mount the device mount. That is the reason, I say the name is not being
created in the /media. In version 10.0, you could create mount point,
but in this version, the mount points get created and deleted dynamically.

By the way, I now have it working with the automounter. I just look at
/misc/dvd and the dvd is automatically mounted. If I wait 1 minute and
nothing is looking at it, it will automatically unmount the dvd.
