the problem here is that the bootup process installs any sound modules
*before* mounting the local filesystem, so naturally it is unable to
find the file. the best solution that i can think of is to edit 
"/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit" and move the section where it installs sound
modules to just after filesystems are mounted.

if you have no idea what i'm going on about then let me know
and i'll send you a copy of mine.

hope this helps.
