It's like Miquel says: it might work, but it's wrong. Don't do it.

Just create a file in /etc/init.d; call it anything you want. 
/etc/init.d/local would be appropriate. Put in it the stuff you want
to start during boot. Then run "update-rc.d" to set up the links
in /etc/rc2.d.

Don't edit /etc/init.d/netbase -- that's wrong too. You're free to do
whatever you want with your own system of course, but you will make it
harder for yourself later.
