Well, it sort of depends on what it is you are trying to do. The '#' would seem
to indicate that you want to move the address of something to d2, while the
second one looks like you want to move the contents of that address to d2.
Though you probably want to do the latter, I'll mention both operations...

   move.l   a0,d2
   add.l    d0,d2

The above will get you the address generated by the address in a0, indexed by
the value in d0, and will place the result in d2.

More likely you are trying to do...

   move.l   0(a0,d0),d2

Which will move the contents of the longword at the address contained in a0,
indexed by the value in d0
