 1) This driver can support up to 4 boards at time.
    Use string "riscom8=0xXXX,0xXXX,0xXXX,0xXXX" at LILO prompt, for
    setting I/O base addresses for boards. If you compile driver
-   as module use insmod options "iobase=0xXXX iobase1=0xXXX iobase2=..."
+   as module use modprobe options "iobase=0xXXX iobase1=0xXXX iobase2=..."
 
 2) The driver partially supports famous 'setserial' program, you can use almost
    any of its options, excluding port & irq settings.
