Darrick thanks for the reply. I tried editing /etc/modprobe.conf originally (setting the filesystem to RW etc) but the changes do not make it past a reboot. I also tried storing one on the keydisk in case this could be used to replace the etc one - without success, it does not get copied over.
Where is the fundamental copy of the file - it is probably this one I should be editing.
