[FC2] Making added modules permanent

You mean how do you make it so the module gets loaded automatically
when you reboot? The best way is probably add it to /etc/rc.modules
(create the file if it doesn't exist):

modprobe -qn pcspkr && action $"Loading PC Speaker module: " modprobe pcspkr


You could also do something more elaborate like tie the loading of the
pcspkir module to the loading of other sound modules that get auto-loaded
already, using the 'install' command in modprobe.conf, explained in
the modprobe.conf man page.
