Please see below. If you need help converting an rc.early script that you
are currently using to the new rc.d style please see rc(8) first, and if
you get stuck the folks on freebsd-rc@ will be glad to help.
Regards,
Doug

FreeBSD src repository
Modified files:
etc/rc.d early.sh
Log:
Deprecate use of the early.sh script as advertised when the support for
local rc.d scripts in the overall boot order was added.
Proper rc.d scripts are run by rc.subr in a subshell, whereas scripts that
end in .sh are sourced into rc's shell. The latter has potential to create
serious boot problems, and there is no reason that the same functionality
cannot be added by the user in the form of a proper rc.d script (as
opposed to being added by the user in the form of /etc/rc.early).
This script will be removed prior to the 8.0 branch.
