Yes.

I don't want to be impolite, but I'd like to ask you to read the manuals
_before_ you post to this list.

"A Detailed Look at the Boot Process"
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-4-Manual/ref-guide/s1-boot-init-shutdown-process.html

"Running Additional Programs at Boot Time"
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-4-Manual/ref-guide/s1-boot-init-shutdown-run-boot.html

Thanks!
