>Description:
/etc/rc.conf.d is part of the FILES variable value in /sbin/newbtconf
so it appeared to me that it was intended that this directory be handle
by the multiple configuration scheme newbtconf and /etc/rc.d/bootconf.sh
provide. Unfortunately the code of the initialisation step do not
handle directories only regular files.

And then the code for creation a new configuration can not handle directories
as well.
>How-To-Repeat:
Run '/sbin/newbtconf init' and observe that /etc/rc.conf.d is left untouched
i.e. it is not moved to /etc/etc.network and a symlink to etc.current/rc.conf.d
is not created.
>Fix:
The following patch should fix this problem.
