I gave a wrong advice and you correctly pointed me at that, thanks. This
is a quote from /etc/init.d/boot that explains:
#
# Run the package-specific boot scripts in /etc/rc.boot.
#
run-parts /etc/rc.boot
I guess customizations should be placed there too.
However, upon further inspection of /etc/init.d/boot I found:
#
# Configure the isa plug and play boards before loading
# modules. Need to do this before loading modules to get
# a chance of configuring and starting PnP boards before
# the drivers mess all this up.
#
if [ -x /etc/init.d/isapnp ]
then
/etc/init.d/isapnp start
fi
This is done even before the call to "run-parts /etc/rc/boot".
I think that answers the second question in the original message;
examining /etc/init.d/isapnp it shows:
#! /bin/sh
# /etc/init.d/isapnp: configure Plug and Play boards
test -x /sbin/isapnp || exit 0
/sbin/isapnp /etc/isapnp.conf
exit 0
So, everything is already configured (except for the actual
/etc/isapnp.conf maybe) after you install the isapnp package.
