The modules listed in /etc/modules will be loaded during boot time
whether or not kerneld has been enabled.

have to put a line like
sbpcd irq=NNN io=NNN
into /etc/conf.modules. Maybe you have to give sbpcd a number like
sbpcd1; I don't know. I'm also not sure of which particular arguments
are accepted by this module, but I'd guess they can be deduced from
the kernel sources.
