The way I've gone about installing all my games in SuSE has been to make an ISO image of the game disks, then in the /mnt directory I have a series of empty folders named CD1. . . . CD5 then I just mount the disks to the appropriate CD number using the "mount -o loop" command that way when I install I don't have to worry about having mounting issues with games that use multiple disks and every game I've ever installed has had an option to override the location of the next CD so when I'm prompted for Disk two I just change the patch from z:/mnt/CD1 to z:/mnt/CD2 where I have z: mapped as my / directory.
As far as not seeing the .exe files in what way don't you see them? have you tried looking for them through the command line using the ls -al (ll {in SuSE two lower case "L"s are mapped to do the same thing as ls -al command})? If you can find it that way just run the installer through the command line (cedega /path/to/cd/diablo\ 2\ installer.exe). If you still can not see the .exe through the command line my guess would be that the disk has both an installer for Windows and for Mac, in which case when the SuSE automounter mounts the disk it's mounting it as a Mac disk so you will not see the .exe. I had this problem with World of Warcraft and I suspect this may be your problem as well, the fix was to use the ISO technique I described at the top. Using the loop option with mount forces the system to mount the ISOs with the CD standard format blocking out platform specific CD options.
