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 
---------------------------------------
