I see now. It was renamed to modules.conf in newer initscripts than what
shipped with CS 1.2.1; I've installed XF4 so that's what I had. I've updated
the page.

Depending on your hw, you may need the xmm-cdread plugin to play audio CD's.
Also make sure you've turned the CD volume up with a mixer.

I don't know why you did this (were we discussing floppies), but that will
cause your system to automatically mount the device at boot.
Changing "ext2" to "auto" would cause the *filesystem type* to be
automatically detected at mount. This may not work for HFS, in which case you
would need to replace "ext2" with "hfs".

I recommend visiting http://www.maconlinux.org. It is possible to run MOL on
Old World Macs.
