On all the COL's I've run, it was simple. Add the module name to /etc/modules/default and in /etc/modules.conf make a line that looks like so:
options sb io=0s220 irq=5 dma=1 dma16=0 mpu_io=0x330 or something to fit the specs of your module/card. This is my SoundBlaster setting for my laptop. As for the Alias command, how would I load a module that didn't directly apply to a piece of Hardware, like VPN or IP_TABLES or somesuch? Or are those supposed to go in rc scripts?
