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.
