rc-status -s does not show Custom init script, cannot start at boot

[ParaVirtual]

I have a simple, working openrc init script designed as per the documentation, it works when invoked via rc-service [start|stop|status], starts and stops as expected, reporting correct status.

I have tried to add it to start at the default runlevel using "rc-update add myservicename default" which acknowledges the action and reports success. It also allows removal, and gives a useful "already exists" message if I try to add it again, and errors if I mistype the service name.

However at system startup, nothing happens. It does not try to start, does not crash, it's just not being called.

"rc-status -s" does not show it as an available service at all, it's not active, crashes, unused, or anwhere. rcstatus -r confirms the current runlevel is default, as expected.

What am I missing? How do I register this custom service with openrc to make it start when the system boots?
