You have to modify each script in /etc/init.d/.
The scripts found in /etc/rcS is ran at boot and then /etc/rc2.d (or
whatever the names, my system is broken currently [see other thread]
so I can't check). It is not one script that runs them all so you
can't add '> /foo/bar' to it. Sadly enough. (I think it is both
security and historical reasons for this.)
This is a rather common question so in the archives there should be
better answers then this.
HTH.
