The Ftape Installation and Usage Guide - Inserting ftape
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.
