You can use the yast partitioner to add mount points for some media or 
partitions that the automatic install did not regognise.
I did so with yast for my new 10.2 install I could not access my old SiSE 9.3 
partition and had to add a mount point which I named  /data1 with the proper 
options and now I can mount and access it in the controversed My Computer 
window.
Here is what yast wrote in /etc/fstab
/dev/hda3            /data1               reiserfs   user,noauto,noacl     0 0

For other media you could enter something like : 


/dev/cdrecorder      /media/cdrecorder    subfs      
noauto,fs=cdfss,ro,procuid,nosuid,nodev,exec,iocharset=utf8 0 0
/dev/dvd             /media/dvd           subfs      
noauto,fs=cdfss,ro,procuid,nosuid,nodev,exec,iocharset=utf8 0 0

 Not sure, I am not an expert, but you could try It. Someone correct me if I 
am wrong
Good luck.
