rc.boot is pretty deprecated at this point. It's better to put your
script in /etc/init.d (e.g. /etc/init.d/hdparm), and then put an
appropriately named symlink in /etc/rcS.d
('ln -s ../init.d/hdparm /etc/rcS.d/S25hdparm'). See the Debian Policy
Manual section 10.3, and /usr/share/doc/sysvinit/README.runlevels.gz.
