Rick,
    I got a response from the Gentoo list. The values are set (in my 
case) in one of the source code files for the 1394 stack. To change this 
behaviour under Gentoo I have to modify that file (in this case 
ohci1394.c) and rebuild the kernel. (Or at least the driver.) The 
modules.pcimap file is then created by a depmod command at boot time I'm 
told.

    It is interesting that on Redhat the modules.pcimap does appear to 
be static, so I guess I could possibly just edit the file on that 
machine. I suspect that maybe somewhere in the modules_install step 
there may be a similar depmod that builds this?

Thanks for your help!

Cheers,
Mark
