See below for the /etc/init.d/boot from muskogee, the more recently
installed of the two Debian machines I use; however its sysvinit
package is NOT the most recent available.  (Actually, that's a point.
Perhaps upgrading to the latest sysvinit package might make some
difference.)

Don't mindlessly copy things around; I believe there have been changes
in the way things work over the last few months.  Consider this to be
a hint only ;-)

You'll see `run-parts /etc/rc.boot' near the end.

>Can I just stick the setserial line in place of run-parts?

I think that would probably be a bad move.
