It's dead and gone, the new name is /etc/rc.conf.

Walnut Creek are the good guys. You've obviously found -questions. That's the place to ask this sort of question. Walnut Creek's technical support concentrates mainly on support of other products: there's no reason for them to want to compete with the people who answer -questions. I can only assume that you ordered FreeBSD without the book. That works, of course, but it's more work.
