The S.u.S.E. init stuff in in /sbin/init.d, so if you want a rc.local
equiv use /sbin/init.d/boot.local.

The way I did it was I created a script 'xfstt' in /sbin/init.d and then
used rctab to add the script to those that run at run time. For me this
way was easiest. The script is really a basic 'case' statement like
most of the init scripts. The rctab just adds it to the runlevels of your
choice. If you decide to do things this way as opposed to using
/sbin/init.d/random or /sbin/init.d/boot.local and don't know how the
script should look or whatever lemme know and I can send you the script
and simple instructions on how I run it on my machine. Hope this helps.
Bye,
