I suspect that your machine disagrees with the documentation ;)
In theory my cdrom should be /dev/hd1. The sole HDD is /dev/hd0, BUT when
I watched the Hurd boot I saw that the cdrom was /dev/hd2. The master on
the second ide channel.
Don't touch fstab, it is modified automatically.
On my machine (K5, 32 MB RAM) "settrans -a /cdrom /hurd/isofs /dev/hd2"
mounts the cdrom nicely.
