Slackware has always used boot initialization scripts in the BSD
style, a simpler and more hands on approach that SysV style scripts.
I know RH uses SysV and wouldn't be surprised that Debian does too.
There should be a script rc.sysvinit (AFAIK new to Slackware) for 10.0
in /etc/rc.d that will confirm this. There is no ifup script.

Try looking in /etc for DHCP configuration files and in /var/state
for lease files.

The necessary on-boot network configurations are usually put in
/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1. AFAIK there is no configuration file for an
"onboot=yes," you must configure the /etc/rc.d files correctly
to get anything configured on-boot. E.g., rc.inet1 is called from
rc.M, which in turn is called by /etc/inittab for run levels 2345.
