Have you tested this? It's the very first thing I tried and it did not work. 
Neither placing just startx at the end of 
/etc/rc, nor placing it there using the full path, have worked for me. That's 
why I started looking into editing 
/etc/inittab as a way of starting X on bootup. Could you please try editing 
/etc/rc on your setup in the way you've 
indicated and see if it works for you?

Thanks,
James
