I am not sure of what are you meaning. In principle, there is no reason for
you to edit the generic netstart. I only suggested looking at it.

netstart is a startup script not standard to all UNIX flavors, it is used
by FreeBSD and BSDI (and other BSDs, I suppose). You only should know what
is done by the commands in the script, since looking at the scripts is
probably the best "documentation" available.

In case you do not know Bourne shell programming basics, I strongly
encourage you to learn it, as it is easy and very useful.
