That suggests using 'insmod' to load the module; if you use 'modprobe
sr_mod' instead, it will look for other modules that this module
depends on (like the generic CD-ROM driver) and load those too.

Add the names of the modules, one to a line, to /etc/modules.
(You could also use Deeper Magic to get them automatically loaded when
needed by adding a file to /etc/modutils and running update-modutils;
each file is a fragment of /etc/modules.conf. There's a short
fragment a little further into that HOWTO. But it's easier to just
figure out what modules you need and unconditionally load them.)
