Linux mounts the filesystems in /etc/fstab *before*
it runs the startup file (/etc/rc). Until it does
the CDrom insmods in /etc/rc, the CDrom does not exist.

Here, too, you are trying to mount the CDrom before
the drive exists. First do the insmods; then do
the mount
---------------------------------------
insmod cdrom
insmod ide-cd
insmod isofs
mount -t iso9660 -o ro /dev/hdd /cd/top
---------------------------------------
