To understand the various rc stuff in FreeBSD, you should read the rc manual page, it explains what is what in that regard.


During startup, you could basically say it works like something this in simple form:

loader
kernel
init
rc system
getty / x based login manager
login
your users shell
your start up files (depending on shell / x login / wm setup)
