/usr/local/etc/rc.d broke after 4.7 -> 4.9 upgrade

[Dan Rue]

Hiya, 

I just upgraded a server from 4.7 to 4.9 stable.  Everything's fine,
except that for some reason my startup scripts in /usr/local/etc/rc.d
are not being executed at boot time anymore.  I must have hosed
something during mergemaster.  I checked rc.conf and defaults/rc.conf -
they correctly point to the correct startup directory.  

Also, if I manually start them they start fine.  

Has anyone seen this before?  Things to check?

tia,
