   It shouldn't be too difficult to do that   
      
   ln -sfn /etc/runlevels /etc/rc.d   
   mkdir -p /etc/rc.d   
   ln -sfn /etc/runlevels/1 /etc/rc.d/rc1.d   
   ln -sfn /etc/runlevels/1 /etc/rc.d/rc2.d   
   ln -sfn /etc/runlevels/1 /etc/rc.d/rc3.d   
   ln -sfn /etc/runlevels/1 /etc/rc.d/rc4.d   
   ln -sfn /etc/runlevels/1 /etc/rc.d/rc5.d   
   mkdir -p /etc/runlevels/1   
   mkdir -p /etc/runlevels/2   
   mkdir -p /etc/runlevels/3   
   mkdir -p /etc/runlevels/4   
   mkdir -p /etc/runlevels/5   
      
      
   replace in /etc/inittab:   
   l1:S1:wait:/sbin/rc single   
   l2:2:wait:/sbin/rc default   
   l3:3:wait:/sbin/rc default   
   l4:4:wait:/sbin/rc default   
   l5:5:wait:/sbin/rc default   
      
   to:   
   l1:S1:wait:/sbin/rc 1   
   l2:2:wait:/sbin/rc 2   
   l3:3:wait:/sbin/rc 3   
   l4:4:wait:/sbin/rc 4   
   l5:5:wait:/sbin/rc 5   
      
   Just don't forget to update the runlevels to contain the right service   
   symlinks.
