6.4.1.1: Prepare for module auto-loading

Add the following to `/etc/conf.modules'. If there already is a alias char-major-27 ... line then you have to comment it out first by prepending a hash # at the beginning of that line first.

#
# load ftape/zftape automatically
#
alias char-major-27 zftape

The alias char-major-27 zftape line is important for auto-loading of modules with the kernel module auto-loading mechanism program. This line instructs the module-auto-loading program to load zftape when the kernel requires a driver for a character device with major number 27.
