It seems to me that there must be a better way to have a

I am playing with VMCP. It uses a driver named vmcp.ko that appears as
/dev/vmcp. In order for this to work the driver must be loaded. It can be
done manually with modprobe or insmod. I wanted it to be done automatically
at boot time so I created an init script and used insserv to set it up.
