How curious.  Does it tell you what parameters it thinks are invalid?

Is your box on a network?  Maybe you moved your network configuration 
to rc.local as well, but didn't turn off Red Hat's network boot script?
Just a guess!

(The network script is linked to rc3.d/S10network, so it happens early.)
                                        ^^

Check out the network script's configuration files:

/etc/sysconfig/network
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-*
/etc/sysconfig/static-routes

The formats of these are documented in the install book.

Try typing these commands as root after the system has booted and see if
you get the same error messages from the "start" invocation.

/etc/rc.d/init.d/network stop
/etc/rc.d/init.d/network start

If you do, you can redirect them to a file from the start script:

/etc/rc.d/init.d/network stop
/etc/rc.d/init.d/network start 2>&1 | tee /tmp/something-or-other

 ] Woo, root execute only!

Not actually, unless you have modified the permissions on utmp.  It's not
in your path by default, though--it's in /sbin.

 ] I'm in 3 it appears.

That's normal, unless you are running X.

The Red Hat install guide has a nice intro to the boot process.
Should be at:

file://localhost/usr/doc/rhl-install-guide-en-5.1/manual/index.html

if you installed that package.
