How can I get fetchmail to automatically start up at boot time.?

I have  a script at /usr/local/etc/rc.d/fetchmail.sh that has 
this command /usr/local/bin/fetchmail -d 60

After the system is up I can run this script and fetchmail starts.

At boot time I see a console message that says this script is 
being executed, but it results in a message being displayed saying 
'No mail servers have been specified'. 

This sounds like at boot time it can not find the /root/.fetchmailrc file.
