I just created these two scripts (000.compat4x.sh and 000.compat5x.sh)
in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ and everything works as expected after a reboot.

I am currently running compat4x-i386-5.3_9 and compat5x-i386-5.4.0.8_7.
 However, without these startup scripts they wouldn't start after a reboot.

Everything is good now!  Thanks for your help!
