Synopsis: /usr/local/etc/rc.d script files won't load during bootup via Diskless

State-Changed-Why: 
I think that there has beem a new way of handling local rc.d scripts
since 6.1-RELEASE.  From the rc.conf(5) manpage:

     early_late_divider
                 (str) The name of the script that should be used as the
                 delimiter between the ``early'' and ``late'' stages of the
                 boot process.  The early stage should contain all the ser-
                 vices needed to get the disks (local or remote) mounted so
                 that the late stage can include scripts contained in the
                 directories listed in the local_startup variable (see below).
                 Thus, the two likely candidates for this value are
                 mountcritlocal for the typical system, and mountcritremote if
                 the system needs remote file systems mounted to get access to
                 the local_startup directories; for example when /usr/local is
                 NFS mounted.  For rc.conf within a jail(8) NETWORKING is
                 likely to be an appropriate value.  Extreme care should be
                 taken when changing this value, and before changing it one
                 should ensure that there are adequate provisions to recover
                 from a failed boot (such as physical contact with the
                 machine, or reliable remote console access).

In your case, setting the variable to "mountcritremote" seems necessary.
Please report back if it helps.
