You don't have to install insmod.  BasicLinux has a version
of insmod in /bin/busybox.  The problem is the pathname (/sbin).
There are two different ways to fix this:
(1) edit etc/rc.d/rc.pcmcia and remove the /sbin prefix from
insmod.  /bin/busybox is in $PATH, so insmod (without /sbin)
should be found.  =OR=
(2) put a symbolic link in /sbin pointing at insmod:
--------------------------------------
ln -s /bin/busybox/insmod /sbin/insmod
--------------------------------------

Once the insmod problem is fixed, the /proc/devices
error will probably disappear.
