loaded automatically, make sure that your kernel is compiled with kmod
support (CONFIG_KMOD) enabled. Beware that umount will not

If you do this, then when you execute an application that uses the
module kerneld will load the module for you. Note that to do this,
you need to have your kernel set to support kerneld. You can check
for this by looking at /usr/src/linux/.config and you should see this:
