As George said it is not the same. Also the use of rc.boot is obsolete
in favor of using links in rcS.d. From the rc.boot man page:
NAME
/etc/rc.boot - directory for local or per-package boot
scripts.
DESCRIPTION
The /etc/rc.boot directory is obsolete. It has been super
seded by the /etc/rcS.d directory. At boot time, first the
/etc/rcS.d directory is scanned and then, for backwards
compatibility, the /etc/rc.boot directory.
The directory /etc/rc.boot is scanned by the program run-
parts(8). The scripts found that have valid filenames for
the run-parts program will be run in lexical sort order of
the filenames.
