Look at the man page for init(8) and /etc/inittab for some extra details.

kerneld is a daemon which will load and unload modules on demand. However
it won't do this unless you add "auto" (without quotes) as the first line
in /etc/modules. You should also comment out with a # any other lines in
that file which represent modules which you don't want to be loaded on
startup.
