Look at /etc/rc.d/rc.modules[0]. Comment out the stuff you don't need.

Also consider turning off support for modulised kernel items during
your make config, and only have those you need.

of modules, then boot-time loaded the modules using rc.modules. RTFM

[0] Good.  You know where it is.
[1] The One True Linux.[5]
[2] 2.0.24. Yes, I know.  But it's off the network, so unless it floodpings
    itself...[6]
[3] That means slowly, looking up the words you don't understand.

[5] Restrain yourselves.  Religious wars between OS are bad enough, but between
    flavours of OS is even worse.
[6] Schyeah, right.
