With the directory structure you have above, I'll assume you also have
the following:

application/
Bootstrap.php
modules/
default/
Bootstrap.php -> Default_Bootstrap extends
Zend_Application_Module_Bootstrap
admin/
Bootstrap.php -> Admin_Bootstrap extends
Zend_Application_Module_Bootstrap

With current releases of ZF, the default module's bootstrap will not be
called; however, with current trunk and the upcoming 1.9.2, it will be.
In the meantime, if you add this code to application/Bootstrap.php, you
can get it to work:

protected function _initDefaultModule()
{
$this->bootstrap('FrontController');
require_once APPLICATION_PATH . '/modules/default/Bootstrap.php';
$defaultBootstrap = new Default_Bootstrap($this);
$defaultBootstrap->bootstrap();
return $defaultBootstrap;
}

In both cases, your models under that module should be prefixed with
"Default_" in order for autoloading to work correctly.
