As George said it is not the same.  Also the use of rc.boot is obsolete
in favor of using links in rcS.d.  From the rc.boot man page:


NAME
       /etc/rc.boot  -  directory  for  local or per-package boot
       scripts.

DESCRIPTION
       The /etc/rc.boot directory is obsolete. It has been super­
       seded by the /etc/rcS.d directory. At boot time, first the
       /etc/rcS.d directory is scanned and  then,  for  backwards
       compatibility, the /etc/rc.boot directory.

       The  directory /etc/rc.boot is scanned by the program run-
       parts(8). The scripts found that have valid filenames  for
       the run-parts program will be run in lexical sort order of
       the filenames.
