Actually, if you know for a fact that you don't have an /etc/rc.modules
and nothing ever will create that file on your system, it's probably
better to do this:

echo \#\!/bin/sh > /etc/rc.modules
echo "/sbin/modprobe pcspkr" >> /etc/rc.modules
chmod +x /etc/rc.modules

rc.modules, if exists, is called by rc.sysinit
It seems like a better idea to load up the module early in the boot
chain.
