Mart,

This isn't an area that I've had to use so we may need to adjust it. 
Kristian may need to shed a little light on this too.

MODOPTS are supposedly set as follows: (from /etc/rc)

   if [ -n "$MODOPTS" ]; then
     for i in $MODOPTS; do
       MOD=`echo $i | cut -d: -f1`
       OPT=`echo $i | cut -d: -f2`
       echo "options $MOD $OPT" >> /tmp/etc/modprobe.conf
     done
   fi

However, it doesn't look like that is ever used since /etc/modprobe.conf 
is hard coded.  For your purposes, you could edit the existing 
modprobe.conf file and replace it with the options you want.  The 
changes would be on unionfs and overwrite the other file.  After we've 
determined the correct way to handle this, I'll walk you through 
reversing the process.
