tobias,

I didn't use modload, because recent etc/rc has a line that looks at rc.lkm
which looks at lkm.conf:

# load any kernel modules specified in /etc/lkm.conf
if [ X"$lkm_init" != XNO -a -f /etc/rc.lkm ]; then
        . /etc/rc.lkm
fi

but if you don't want to reboot, and if you don't want the lkm loaded if you have
to reboot for some other reason, then modload will work. I decided to to with the auto
loading.

You are right, you have to do a madedev lkm in /dev, and maybe some other
stuff that I don't remember, but if you don't have everything ready, there
will be a helpful error message to remind you.

It was, as you say, a real pain to get running. It has been a couple of months,
so the pain has faded, but, if I can do it, you can. I don't have any experience
at all with this stuff, I just nibbled away at the errors until it worked.
