Thanks, Wolf. Now, with

/dev/hdf /mnt/dvd udf,iso9660
umask=0,user,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,noauto,ro,exec,users 0 0

in /etc/fstab, I again get

$ mount /dev/dvd
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdf,
       missing codepage or other error
       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
       dmesg | tail  or so

$ mount -t iso9660 /dev/dvd
mount: only root can do that
$ mount -t udf /dev/dvd
mount: only root can do that
$

Any further ideas?
