Hi,

I'm using BuC 2.4.1, booting from CD and reading my configuration from
floppy. I figured that, since all modules are on the CD, I wouldn't
need to load a separate modules.lrp from floppy. But as BuC doesn't use
modprobe(modutils?), it gets kinda hairy.

I finally figured out what the somewhat terse comments in /etc/modules 
mean, but I think it might be a good idea if at least the cd
version of BuC gets the following additions to /etc/modules in the 
standard modules.lrp (hopefully I got most of them right):

# (snip beginning of /etc/modules)

# Want to load modules from the official Bering uClibc cd image? Use:
# ! mount iso9660 /dev/cdrom
# and uncomment the (relevant) ! dir <...> lines below
