or is it a case someone broke/removed the symlink from /etc/rc to /etc/rc.d/rc?
Or more correctly /etc/rc -> /etc/init.d/rc.
/etc/rc dates back to SunOS v4 at least. Similarly /etc/init and /sbin/init.
/etc/rc.d (and children like /etc/rc[0-6].d) is more of a "expression of state"
directory. The actual scripts are supposed to live in /etc/init.d/.
Your local /etc/inittab should be FULL of references to /etc/init.d/rc like so:
# Default runlevel
id:3:initdefault:
# System initialization
si::sysinit:/etc/init.d/rcS
# Runlevel scripts
l0:0:wait:/etc/init.d/rc 0
l1:1:wait:/etc/init.d/rc 1
l2:2:wait:/etc/init.d/rc 2
l3:3:wait:/etc/init.d/rc 3
l4:4:wait:/etc/init.d/rc 4
l5:5:wait:/etc/init.d/rc 5
l6:6:wait:/etc/init.d/rc 6
