Simply put the modules you want loaded in /etc/modules 1 to a line.  For
example, my /etc/modules looks like:

<code>
# /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time.
#
# This file should contain the names of kernel modules that are
# to be loaded at boot time, one per line.  Comments begin with
# a "#", and everything on the line after them are ignored.

#ide-cd
ide-disk
ide-generic
#psmouse
speakup_dectlk
bttv tuner=39 radio=1 automute=0
</code>

Each module is modprobed with the options specified after its name.  These
modules are also loaded before any init scripts, so you have access to them
fairly early in the boot process.

HTH,
Lorenzo
