I _believe_ the script should not take more than a few hundred bytes as
you need those utilities anyway. I think modutils is the place to do it

# Loop over every line in /etc/modules.
echo 'Loading modules: '
(cat /etc/modules; echo) | # make sure there is a LF at the end
while read module args
do
        case "$module" in
                \#*|"") continue ;;
        esac
        echo -n "$module - "
        MODTOLOAD=`find / -name $module.o |sort |sed -n 1p`
        if [ "$MODTOLOAD" = ""  ] ;then
           module="` echo $module | cut -c-8`"
           MODTOLOAD=`find / -name $module.o |sort |sed -n 1p `
        fi
        if [ ! "$MODTOLOAD" = "" ] ;then
        insmod $MODTOLOAD $args
        fi
#       insmod /lib/modules/"$module".o $args
done
