I took a quick look through depcache, and my guess is that you put your 
domainname in /etc/init.d/domainname instead of /etc/domainname, 
overwriting an important init script.  This comes from baselayout, so if 
you still have the distfile (rc-scripts) on your system, you can extract 
it from there.
