No need to worry. boot.local is independant of the chkconfig/insserv
machinery. This is an excerpt from /etc/init.d/boot (on my SLES 10
system):

  #
  # Start user defined bootup script.
  #
  if test -f /etc/init.d/boot.local ; then
      echo -n "System Boot Control: "
      echo "Running /etc/init.d/boot.local"
      /bin/sh /etc/init.d/boot.local
      rc_status -v1 -r
      splashtrigger "boot.local"
  fi

So, if you watched the output during the boot of your system, you should
have seen something like:

  Running /etc/init.d/boot.local

FWIW, there's also a lot of detailed information about the boot process
in /etc/init.d/README .
