Greetings.

This seems to be a Konqueror thing.  On the left of Konqueror, it seems
to list a number of tabs, such as "Bookmarks', 'Root', 'Network", etc.
One of them is 'System'.

System apparently lists Hardware by mount points.  /media/sr1 would be
in the /media directory off of /.  SuSE tends to automount stuff like
USB drives, CDs, DVDs, etc. in /media.
