[Grml] Loading a kernel module at boot?

Is there a way to create a GRML iso that automatically loads a kernel 
module at boot time?  If i could create a iso file that loads a speakup 
screen reader module for my hardware speech synthesizer, I could get 
access to boot messages. According to the GRML documentation, you ought 
to be able to pass kernel parms with the -b flag. But I haven't been 
able to get it to work. I don't know if I'm doing it wrong in GRML or if 
I'm giving the kernel the wrong parms. I've tried variations like this:


grml2iso -b speakup_ltlk -o grml-ltlk.iso grml-small_2024_10.iso

grml2iso -b speakup_ltlk.start=1 -o grml-ltlk.iso grml-small_2024_10.iso



There shouldn't be anything special about the speakup kernel modules. So 
if someone knows how to load a kernel module via the kernel command 
li,me that ought to be the info I need.
