Hi all...........well that last line about sums it all up; don't have one
and you don't want one....

But I did get it to work; finally...loads at boot.

The "$version" part of the script simply wouldn't work....errors with
directory not found.

But here's the good news....I hacked on the script 'loadmods.sh' for long
enough to actually get the mod to load reliably....thanks D....

Here's how...in rc.local

insmod /lib/modules/2.4.7-10/kernel/drivers/cdrom/cdrom.o  &&
sleep 15
insmod /lib/modules/2.4.7-10/kernel/drivers/cdrom/sbpcd.o sbpcd=0x230,1


Seems the little nap does the thing good.....I tried sleep 10...but that
wasn't enough...and the other little interesting thing; was that nano
would keep on wrapping the last part of the sbpcd line...I had to
backspace it back to get it all on the one line...and then it ran
properly!!!  

Now...maybe connectivity and maybe X....

Anyway---Thanx guys....G
