6.4.2: Using the kernel's module auto-loading mechanism

ftape is able to use the kernel's module auto-loading facility to load the FDC drivers specified with the ft_fdc_driver option automatically (see ftape.o module options). So there is no need to load these modules manually when your kernel supports auto-loading of kernel modules. There is a separate section with further remarks about ftape and module auto-loading. See Autoloading.

If you want to use the kernel's auto-loading mechanism then all preparation needed is to modify `/etc/conf.modules' as described in the previous section, See conf.modules.

And, of course, the kernel must support auto-loading of kernel modules. Please refer to `[/usr/src/linux/]Documentation/modules.txt' for more information.
