Check /etc/conf.modules
That file is scanned for loading modules

the file is /etc/fstab
make a copy of one of the entries to modify it to
/dev/hdaX /dos1 vfat defaults,auto 1 1
1) The /dev/.. is the hard disk drive/partition combo
2) /dos1 is the mount point under which the drive will be mounted
3) vfat indicates a win95/nt/98 filesystem
4) with the defaults option include the auto keyword separated with a comma
5) The last 2 flags indicate the order the fsck and backups are done for
those drives
The main key is the auto keyword and the proper specs for mounting the drive
