See the HHL-JE-20.pdf file located in the (doc) documentation
directory.  I point you at Chapter 7, Additional Configuration
Information.  (Specifically at the initdconfig section.)

Assuming you used the installer, only the init scripts required to boot
a minimal system (and be able to telnet in and use nfs root) are
enabled.  Anything beyond that you, the developer/user will need to
enable.  If you did not use the installer, you probably got a bunch of
messages during installation such as "Unable to enable initd service:
checkfs.sh".  These messages mean that the initdconfig program was not
able to be run for some reason or another, thus you probably don't have
ANY initscripts installed.

The initscripts are further discussed in the "Initscript Overview"
section of Chapter 7.
