A block device driver can either be statically linked with the kernel or
built as a separately loadable module. You choose how you wish the module
to be linked with the kernel when you configure the kernel prior to
building it. So, if insmod cant find a module then either it wasn't built
or else it is already linked in with the kernel.  Since your system is up
and running then this driver must have been linked into the kernel.  The
only way I know how to specify dasd to the block device driver is via the
parm file or in your zipl.conf file.  BTW, the statement you show above is
using insmod to set a module variable called dasd to a value of 33a2. I
dont know how this would cause the dasd driver to do a rediscover of disks
but then I am kinda new to 390.
