If you mean for startupscripts it's /etc/rcS.d

yes, but that dirctory is empty. Am I supposed to creat a rc.local in that dir?

Weird it´s empty, mine has 22 scripts in default install, but no, you don´t have to create a directory, you just place your startupscripts directly in /etc/rcS.d

Go to /etc/init.d/ and create a file...for example "local"
Edit it:

#!/sh/bin
.......Scripts or deamons to load at startup.........

Make the file executable:
chmod +x local

Create a symbolic Link in rc1.d or rcS.d

ln -s /etc/init.d/local /etc/rcS.d/S98local

Reboot! Enjoy!
