I checked the old version, and luckily, only the .sh scripts are
called without the 'start' argument.  Try this patch:

Index: /etc/init.d/rcS

                                set start
-                               . $i
+                               . $i start
                        )
                        ;;
                *)


But I seriously recommend upgrading sysv-rc to the latest version and
allowing it to update /etc/init.d/rcS and /etc/init.d/rc.
