The file that probably comes closest is /etc/rc.local
(you have to create it, it doesn't exist by default).

Actually FreeBSD's rc system allows much more flexible
scripting ...  If you're interested, start by reading
the rc(8) manual page.  But if you only need some simple
commands executed upon every boot, just put them in
/etc/rc.local and you're done.

Note, however, that you have to use sh(1) shell command
syntax, not COMMAND.COM syntax.  ;-)

By the way, the file that corresponds to config.sys on
a FreeBSD system is /etc/rc.conf (see the rc.conf(5)
manual page for details).

Best regards
   Oliver
