I have a parallel port Zip 250 drive and I would like to automate the loading of the imm module when I issue the mount /mnt/zip command. &nbsp;I know I have to use kmod, but my question is how does the kernel know that it has to load the imm module - do I have to make any entries in /etc/conf.modules?<br />

Thanks in advance.
