Yes, you're rigth. /etc/rc.d/sshd should take care of it ...
Did you wait long enouth ? sshd is started before inetd, and sshd takes some
time the firt time it's started, to generate the keys.

Another thing you can try is change /etc/rc:
for _rc_elem in $files; do
        run_rc_script $_rc_elem start
done

to

for _rc_elem in $files; do
	echo $_rc_elem >> /tmp/log
        run_rc_script $_rc_elem start >> /tmp/log
done

to try to see where it hangs
