It does. At the time /sbin/init executes /etc/rc, file systems are not
yet mounted. Quoting /etc/rc:

	files=$(rcorder -s nostart ${rc_rcorder_flags} /etc/rc.d/*)

	for _rc_elem in $files; do
		run_rc_script $_rc_elem start
	done

If you set rc_rcorder_flags='/usr/pkg/etc/rc.d/*' but your /usr/pkg
is not on your root file system the shell obviously can't expand this
pattern.

So you need to either have /usr/pkg/etc/rc.d on the root file system or
start the programs from e.g. /etc/rc.local.
