A pretty similar action as you would on the other "standard" form of Linux distribution, SysV.

LEAF routers can't depend on persistent storage to retain the script symlinks, so a dynamic method is used. > I'm using the Bering LEAF distribution. > > I also noticed that in /etc/default there is a rcS file that speaks to a > "DYNARCD=yes" instruction. If I say no to this, what happens? RCDLINKS variables are not processed. This is possible, but not recommended. > Could I then > add a startup init.d script.
