Hmm - everything looks fine if you install SuperServer directly, i.e. 
SuperServer starts
without a problem. But on reboot - it doesn't start automatically as it should. 
Going to
/Library/StartupItems/Firebird and running ./Firebird start will start the 
server assuming
that the files needed are there.

But I assume if you install Yosemite without reinstalling Firebird then the 
StartupItems
directory does not exist anymore, so a reinstall will be necessary, and manual 
startup
on reboot.

A search tells me the following:

Startup Items
Deprecation Note: Startup items are a deprecated technology. Launching of 
daemons through this process may be removed or eliminated
in a future release of OS X.

Which is obviously what has happened.

This is followed by

"Unless your software requires compatibility with OS X v10.3 or earlier, use 
the launchd facility instead."

Which is currently what Classic does.

I am going to have to redo how SuperServer starts, to be compatible with 
Yosemite (10.10)
