Your second line is identical to the first, and so is unneeded.
/dev/cdrom can only point to one of them. In addition, at least for a
RH6.2 fstab, the first item on the line must be something in the /dev
directory, the second item is the mount point. (Your other parameters
look a little odd as well.) In addition, since both CDs could be in use
at the same time, you need different mount points for them.
In any case, I think the lines should start out something like:
/dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom1
/dev/hdd /mnt/cdrom2

Did you check ls -l /mnt/cdrom ?

A mount point is just a directory. Use the mkdir command. If you want to
symlink something to an existing directory or file:
ln -s original-file-or-dir name-of-new-link
