It should be near the top of /etc/rc, but like Scott said, you should
probably upgrade your /etc directory to -current.  If you're going to do
this, be sure to untar it in some place non-destructive like /tmp.  Then
you can merge in any changes you've made before moving the files into the
/etc directory.

I hope this helps.
