You can create a script to do this in /etc/init.d and link to that script from one of the rc<n>.d directories. Depending on your default level (if you haven't mucked with /etc/inittab I believe Debian's default level is 2), that would be /etc/rc2.d/. I believe the file /etc/init.d/README tells you where to look to see how things are handled for Debian GNU/Linux startup. Essentially you create a script in /etc/init.d that looks something like: #! /bin/sh if [ -x /usr/bin/sfxload ] then /usr/bin/sfxload <fontfile> fi Where <fontfile> is the name, and full path, of the sound font file you want to load at boot time. Save that under a file named something like /etc/init.d/soundfont then go into /etc/rc2.d/ and create a link to it. The one hitch is that you have to make sure that the script is run at the right time. For a PnP sound card that means after the PnP initialization has been done and, if your sound card support is a module, after the sound modules is loaded, or at least after kerneld is started. Generally, for something like this, I like to put them as almost the last thing executed so I'd do cd /etc/rc2.d ln -s ../init.d/soundfont S98soundfont Things in the /etc/rc<n>.d/ directory are executed in alphabetical/numerical order with S00* files being executed first and S99* files last.
