Add this line to /etc/conf.modules:
post-install paride modprobe -k epat
When you access pd (either by manually insmoding or autoloading, e.g.
by "mount /mnt/blah /dev/pda1") it will load paride first, and the above
line tells modprobe to load the epat module, too. I use similar rules
successfully with modutils-2.1.121.
