} 	modload /stand/sparc64/8.99.1/modules/ntfs/ntfs.kmod 
} 
} seems to work for me right now, of course I don't want to hard wire the
} version number, and both the existing sysctl for the path and the modload(8)
} man page hint at a relative path to be usable.
} 
} However, none of the obvious things did work for me:
} 
} 	modload ntfs/ntfs.kmod 
} 	modload ntfs.kmod 
} 	modload ntfs

     modules.conf(5) states:

   FILE FORMAT
     Lines starting with a hash (`#') and empty lines are ignored.  All other
     lines are passed to modload(8).

thus you shouldn't be using the word, "modload", in modules.conf.

     However, modules.conf(5) does need clarification about how
arguments are handled.
