A quick reboot shows we need much more. Here's what works on my system

/bin/env -i \
    BOOT="${BOOT}" \
    CONSOLETYPE="${CONSOLETYPE}" \
    CRITICAL_SERVICES="${CRITICAL_SERVICES}" \
    START_CRITICAL="${START_CRITICAL}" \
    STOP_CRTIICAL="${STOP_CRITICAL}" \
    OLDSOFTLEVEL="${OLDSOFTLEVEL}" \
    SOFTLEVEL="${SOFTLEVEL}" \
    IN_BACKGROUND="${IN_BACKGROUND}" \
    IN_HOTPLUG="${IN_HOTPLUG}" \
    /lib/rcscripts/sh/runscript.sh $*
