i've written an rcNG script but i'm having some issues.

Step one: set rc_debug="YES" in /etc/rc.conf to see what's actually happening when you attempt to run your script. That seems to uncover about 95% of the problems I've had.
turned on the option rc_debug="YES" and ran 'dmesg -a'... the script doesn't even show up in the list anywhere. are we not supposed to be able to write custom rcNG scripts? is there something i'm overlooking where i need to register httpd_start in the rc stuff? here's my newbie impression of how rc works:
- rc i run by init
- rc runs rcorder on all script directories.
- rc reads rc.conf and runs all scripts found by rcorder
rcorder recognizes the script i wrote without any errors... yet when i boot the system, there is no "checkyesno" for httpd_start. there's nothing that references the script at all... WHY? >.<

why did FreeBSD have to adopt this standard anyhow? it seems unnecessarily complicated to write custom scripts now.
