Usage: /etc/rc [fast | force | one.... error msg whilst booting up

I get this error msg whilst booting up:-
Usage: /etc/rc [fast | force | one... etc
Click to expand...
This line does not appear in /var/log/messages or /var/run/dmesg.boot.

There is no context around the error, so how do I figure out the source of the error? Are there any breakpoints I can set to identify the cause?

Is it coming from /etc/rc? I suspect so, because of some mention of firstboot_sentinel in that file and I'm experimenting with firstboot processing, however the string 'Usage:' does not apear there.
 
I tried to find the source of the msg using:-

find /etc -name '*' -exec grep -li 'fast|force' {} \;

and this found /etc/rc.subr

Is there some way to set on debug in just this module?
 
That /etc/rc.subr is called by every rc(8) script, it contains a lot of generic functions that make the whole rc(8) system work. Judging by the error you should review your rc.conf, I suspect the error is there.
