Hi!

That is true of 2.0 kernels using kerneld. 2.2 kernels
prefer kmod (a kernelthread).

Which is why modprobe uses a configuration file (usually
/etc/conf.modules, see manpage) which has a post-install
rule/option (see man conf.modules). kmod in turn uses
/sbin/modprobe (settable in /proc/sys/kernel/modprobe).
Thus you could set the default settings this way.

Three, at least:
mt (the basic variant)
mt-st (expanded for scsi/dat)
ftmt (expanded for floppy tapes)
