---------------------------------------------

asfar as I understand the process: At boot time the scripts in both
rc.d dirs are executed with $1=start. It is then the scripts
responsibility to decide if it starts unconditionally or if it looks
for some variable in /etc/rc.conf to give it a go/no-go decision.
So to answer your question: doing "rc.d/startupscriptname start"
should give you a fairly clear idea of what will happen during boot.
