Because rc.boot was run in between /etc/rcS.d and /etc/rc[1-6].d, and usually you want to run local stuff as the *last* thing during boot, so you can be sure all standard services (like NIS, if you use that, NFS, etc) are up and running. To create a "local" rc script: # cp /etc/init.d/skeleton /etc/init.d/local # vi /etc/init.d/local # chmod 755 /etc/init.d/local # update-rc.d local defaults 80 .. that's all.
