In looking this up, there were some conflicting answers that I have found. It also turns out that boot.local is not an exact equiv for rc.local and that the true settings matter by distribution and how your rc.conf is configured. There is, apparently no "hard and fast" answer but more distros seem to be going towards having rc.local run as a symlink in each runlevel, now. boot.local is still, it seems, run before, on SUSE, which is the distro I choose to run, and with more confusion, have people stating that boot.local is a drop in replacement for rc.local. They are apparently different enough.
