Because one of the first things in the rcorder'd list of rc.d
scripts is to mount /usr which then allows all the later scripts
to use /usr/bin, /usr/pkg/bin, etc.  But the rcorder itself is done
before /usr is mounted, so you can't include the /usr/pkg/etc/rc.d
scripts in that list (unless /usr is on the root partition).

The traditional solutions have been to make rc.local rcorder
/usr/pkg/etc/rc.d/* and run them (possibly adding a fake DAEMON
script since it's already been run or removing that REQUIRES part
in all the other scripts), copy/link the /usr/pkg/etc/rc.d scripts
into /etc/rc.d, or not have a /usr partition.
