Load module from the boot menu

http://unix.stackexchange.com – Is there a way to insert/load a module at the boot menu in Suse? I'm referring to the menu in the screenshot below (this isn't from my machine, just a similar screenshot I took from the web). I know you add modules to boot via INITRD_MODULES in /etc/sysconfig/kernel, but I'm unable to get into my root partition, even in rescue mode. I did an in-place upgrade to SLES 11 SP2 and this new service pack seems to have an issue with booting my iSCSI HBA. The proper qla4xxx driver loads fine, but no disks are found. I've been through hours of troubleshooting and found that two drivers need to (HowTos)
