Aren't these passed by the kernel to init as cmdline arguments and environment
variables? Check out the kernel sources for init/main.c

Well, it's not CentOS specific; it's Amazon specifc.
But, anyway, what differences are there between rc3 and rc4 ? On my
machine they're minimal:
% diff -r rc3.d rc4.d
Only in rc4.d: K95firstboot
Only in rc3.d: S99firstboot
If you build your rc files correctly so that they're chkconfig compatible
then you just make your script get added to rc3 and rc4
eg
# chkconfig: 2345 09 91
# description: my startup script
Alternatively, how about this inittab entry:
4:4:once:/sbin/init 3
May work. I've never tested!
