VMware Service Not Starting

I'm running VMware Player 4.0.3 in Sabayon 8 with Gnome 2.3. I have vmware's service added to /etc/init.d but it does not autostart when I boot up the machine. I am currently having to do /etc/init.d/vmware start every time I begin to use VMware.

Can anyone help me with this?

You will need to make VMware player auto bootable using rc-update command

Code:
rc-update add <VMwareplayer service name> default
Replace VMwareplayer service name with the actual service name you're seeing in /etc/init.d/
