I think init just runs /etc/rc on bootup; I'm not sure, but that's certainly
one of the things it does.
In any case, /etc/rc then runs each of the scripts in /etc/rc.d:
files=`rcorder ${skip} /etc/rc.d/* 2>/dev/null`
for _rc_elem in ${files}; do
run_rc_script ${_rc_elem} ${_boot}
done
It seems that the scripts in /etc/rc.d then look at the various configuration
files.
For example, /etc/rc.d/sshd will only actually start sshd if the sshd_enable
option is set in /etc/rc.conf. rc.conf doesn't do anything itself; it merely
contains options that other scripts read.
