Thanks. Where are these aliases documented?  No mention in depmod(1).

Its not working. Do I need to reset any daemons?

The other module i want is : modprobe sbpcd sbpcd=0x230,1
for an old CD-ROM. It needs to stay loaded, as it probes for about
20 secs when loading, even with the options.
(It often takes a few tries to mount too. maybe hardware trouble)
