That depends.

If you did a 'make dest', it's in root.client/usr/vice/etc/afs.dc
If you did a 'make install', it didn't get installed, but you can
copy it from src/afsd/afs.rc.linux

In any case, you do not need to load the kernel module before starting a 
fileserver on a Linux system.  That requirement exists only for systems 
which use the inode fileserver.
