loading kernel module from floppy?

I'm trying to install FreeBSD 4.10 on a raid set using a RocketRaid 1640.
In order to do so, I need to load the driver as a kernel module at boot
time, but nowhere is it documented (that I can find) how to specify the
device.  I can lsdev and see disk0a: ffs and disk0c: ffs, but if I try
to load disk0a:filename, it's not found.  neither is /disk0a/filename or
/dev/disk0a/filename.  Neither does the odd syntax the earlier stage uses
of 0:fd(0,a)/filename.  My next step is to head for the source I guess...
