[Kernel 2.2.10] Figuring out module-parameters



I've just built a 2.2.10 kernel on my own (banging my own chest like
Tarzan[1]) and compiled fat-fs-support as a module (and nls_cp437,
vfat, hpfs, msdos, ...) but modprobe (or whatever reads
/etc/conf.modules) complains when I boot.

I have this in  /etc/modutils/filesystems:
#! /bin/sh

echo \# Filesystems:

if [ "x`uname -r`x" = "x2.0.35x" ] ; then
        echo \# No filesystems from /etc/modutils/filesystems
else
        echo options fat
        echo options msdos
        echo options nls_cp437
fi
echo \# Filesystems - end

The problem is that it complains on "options fat" about missing
parameters. How and where do I find out of which options fat (and
others too for that matter) expects?


The kernel boots[2] nicely but I can't access my network since the
modules aren't loaded properly... :-(


Footnotes: 
[1]  Okey, okey - it wasn't so much a problem but I *finally* got
around to do it after about 2 years...

[2]  I upgraded from 2.0.3[3,5] and threw out SCSI and I boot *much*
faster. I saw some comment somewhere that a common reaction to the new
2.2.10-kernel was "I fealt like I upgraded my CPU" - and I
agree. (Haven't used the rest enough to know how it is up and running.
