I am running FreeBSD4.3 very installed just a couple weeks ago.  A minimal
install was done via FTP.

After install there was no /usr/local which means no /usr/local/etc/rc.d.  I
installed dhcpd and created /usr/local, /usr/local/rc.d manually.  I placed
a created a startup script for dhcpd as prescribed in the manual but when I
reboot it fails to run.  I placed an echo command as I always do so I can
see some output when the computer boots up.  Nothing is displayed during
bootup.  I can start dhcpd manually after logging in as root.

I checked /etc/rc.conf and there are no entries that seem to correspond.  I
checked /etc/defaults/rc.conf and a short distance down found a line that
read like this:
local_startup="/usr/local/etc/rc.d /usr/X11R6/etc/rc.d" # startup script
dirs.

What am I missing in order to make scripts in /usr/local/etc/rc.d run on
startup?
