Wrong direction.

You HAVE /sbin/init/d/xfsft

You will CREATE symlinks POINT AT that file. These
symlinks will be the files you list in rc3.d and rc2.d

You create symlinks with this command:

 ln -s /target/path/and/name /link/path/and/name

Note: you CAN use a relative path to the target, but the link is
stored with EXACTLY the path you specify.  So if you then movey the
link to another location, the location pointed to also moves.  This
can be very useful, or very annoying.  For something you're throwing
together quickly, start the target with / as I did above.

For the link do whatever you like to land it in the right location. 
If you're in the directory you want the link to reside in, then you
can just give the link a file name.
