modprobe.d question.

I have a module that I want to have installed during the boot process 
(fbcon) but I can't figure out what the standard practice would be to do it.

I am still using SYSV init as well.

The brute force approach would be to just write a shell script that 
executes during the boot process.

 From what I understand reading docs what adding install fbcon modprobe 
-v fbcon  to  a conf file in modprobe.d  (say I called it fbcon.conf ) 
would do is if the hot-plugging needed fbcon it would use fbcon.conf 
instead.

I am most familiar with debian and there is a file called /etc/modules 
that lists modules to be installed during boot, but I think the magic of 
modprobe is not used so the dependencies would not get included.

I am not using a initial ram disk.

This is on a "linux from scratch" like system, but not LFS.

Any corrections or thoughts?

Fred
