Yes, that should work too. However any time you update vboxheadless
you'll have to remember to add that modification back to the rc script.
Using a separate file stops that being a problem.
If you want to test that your changes are having the desired effect
without having to reboot:
# rcorder /etc/rc.d/* /usr/local/etc/rc.d/*
which will print out the order all the rc-scripts would be run. (It
includes all the scripts, not just the ones enabled in /etc/rc.conf, but
that shouldn't matter.)
Cheers,
Matthew
