testserver:/# cat /initrd/loadmodules 
modprobe -k ext3
modprobe -k ext2
modprobe -k aic7xxx

loadmodules is sourced by /initrd/linuxrc

(oh and of course /initrd is my mount of the initrd.img file).

P.S. I've got to assume that modprobe has an internal alias that
translates block-major-8 to sd_mod.  I don't see any reference in either
/etc/modules.conf to this alias, but nevertheless modprobe -c shows the
alias.  And there is a sd_mod.o in the initrd...
