The modules are in the actual package, but since you're booting with a
kernel outside the filesystem, it doesn't work so well.  IMHO, the whole
model of booting a kernel from outside of the guest filesystem is pretty
broken as there's a fair bit of userspace which ends up depending pretty
closely on the kernel these days.
