Actually, it is true. /etc/rc runs the things in /usr/local/etc/rc.d. Of course, the same is also true of SysV (at least some of them) - the have lots of scripts that are all run from one script in /etc. And with any luck, all the things that /etc/rc (and friends) start on FreeBSD will be reorganized into a directory of scripts that can be used to start and stop subsystems, ala NetBSD-current.
