HI:
This kind of error typically means that you have a syntax error in one of the 'rc.config.d' files *or* you have placed something extraneous in the '/etc/rc.config.d' directory.
Verify that your '/etc/rc.config.d' directory only contains appropriate files.
If you look at the script, '/etc/rc.config' you will see that it *is* ok to have backup file copies as long as their names contain [.,~#]. That is, 'netconf.old' is an acceptable backup but 'netconfold' is not.
Verify the contents of this directory by doing:
# for FILE in $(ls /etc/rc.config.d/*)
> do
> ls ${FILE}
> . ${FILE}
> done
This will source (read) every file as if the nomral startup sequence is running. The action will stop if there is any file with syntax errors and the 'ls' will identify the offender. Note the "dot-space-filename" syntax in the above code.
By the way, afterwards, you can also see from a 'ls -ul' which files were not sourced, because they were regarded as backup copies and were skipped.
Regards!
