The /etc/rc.boot/ execution has been obsolete since 1999 and was
dropped from sysv-rc with the upload 2009-09-05.

Why do you not move the scripts in /etc/rc.boot/ to /etc/init.d/ and
symlink to them from /etc/rcS.d/ or /etc/rc2.d/ instead of recreating
support for /etc/rc.boot/?  It is my recommended way forward, and
allow for one consistent way to handle scripts run early during boot.

Happy hacking,
