you need more input to be able to see what is going on

The startup scripts are being called from /etc/rc.

If you can't figure out what is going on why don't you add some debugging 
outputs to /etc/rc. Something like this

---/etc/rc---
  # For each valid dir in $local_startup, search for init scripts matching *.sh
  # 
> echo "local_starup: $local_startup"
  case ${local_startup} in
  [Nn][Oo] | '')
	  ;;
  *)
	  echo -n 'Local package initialization:'
	  slist=""
	  for dir in ${local_startup}; do
> 		  echo "dir: $dir"
		  if [ -d "${dir}" ]; then
			  for script in ${dir}/*.sh; do
> 		  		  echo "script: $scipt"
				  slist="${slist}${script_name_sep}${script}"
			  done
		  fi
	  done
	  script_save_sep="$IFS"
	  IFS="${script_name_sep}"
> 	  echo "slit: $slist"
	  for script in ${slist}; do
		  if [ -x "${script}" ]; then
> 	  		  echo "running: $script"
			  (set -T
			  trap 'exit 1' 2
			  ${script} start)
		  fi
	  done
	  IFS="${script_save_sep}"
	  echo '.'
	  ;;
  esac
---/etc/rc---

then reboot and see what you see.  This will help you understand what 
is going on.  Perhaps you have managed to screw up local_startup in 
rc.conf oder something else.  

You will find out if you will try to trace ...

Greetings
Christian
