exactly what i wrote. rc.d subsystem is quick, and anyway in special cases 
just delete in and write all needed startup in /etc/rc

i assume it is embedded system - in which boot time is very important.

of course i do!

Do you have USB in that system?

Compile whole USB as module. put kldload statement in /etc/rc that way 
(example):

/sbin/kldload /boot/kernel/uhci.ko &

USB takes long in kernel, but now it will go in background while the rest 
initializes.
