Yes, but you should NOT be using ANY of them. /etc/rc.boot is wrong, /etc/rcS.d is wrong and /sbin/setup.sh is definitely very very wrong. Programs in thoise places will be executed way too early, before the system has been properly initialized. You want to create a script in /etc/init.d/ and link it into the appropriate /etc/rc?.d directories with update-rc.d See /etc/init.d/README and /usr/doc/sysvinit/README.runlevels.gz Sorry for the speling mistaeks, I'm typing over a splow line at the ISPF in San Diego ...
