I have a question about /etc/modules.conf.  My PC at the house has a
firewire controller that works fine under linux (RH7.3) as long as I
insmod the ieee1394 modules before connecting my firewire drive.  I would
like to have this happen on boot-up so I can add the appropriate entries
to the /etc/fstab and have the drive mount on startup.

I am not certain what an entry for a firewire device would look like in 
modules.conf. It doesnt seem to me that it would behave like an ethernet 
alias and thats the only type I am familair with. What generates the 
modules.conf file in the first place? Is there a command to generate a new 
one based on the currently loaded modules?

And on a side note, is anyone using the "new" autofs daemon? How well does 
linux behave with hot-swappable media like USB/Firewire drives? Is 
umount'ing still required?
