--- Comment #5 from Conrad Meyer <cem@freebsd.org> ---
Sorry, I didn't realize abundance of evidence was in question.

rc.d scripts have nothing to do with init.

init starts gettys, spawns the *separate* /etc/rc program when told to go to
multi-user, stays alive as pid 1, and kills zombies.  That's it.  For evide=
nce
of this you can see the init.c source code (it's quite short) or the init(8)
manual page (it's also quite short).

For evidence of rc being a separate entity from init(8) you can see the rc(=
8)
manual page or like, look at the /etc/rc source code.

It's fine that you are just unfamiliar with how init and rc works =E2=80=94=
 most people
are.  But you should have at least somewhat familiarized yourself with the
components before rototilling the directory around.  And you should listen =
when
people who are familiar let you know you've made a mistake, and you should =
fix
it.
