I would also assume that its "b" since thats the devices you have in /dev

"mount" only shows mounted filesystems.  If either the drive is empty, 
or there is a blank disk in the drive, "mount" doesn't know about it.

In your position, I would execute:

# ln -s /dev/dvd1 /dev/dvd

and see if that solves your problem.  It should create a symlink from 
/dev/dvd to the /dev/dvd1 link (which points at your /dev/hdb device).

If so, you might want to look into how to create a udev rule for this so 
that this link gets created every time you reboot your system.

*OR* you need to look into where /dev/dvd is defined and change it to 
/dev/dvd1
