starting virtual interfaces?

I have no problem using ifconfig to start up a virtual interface like eth0:0 192.168.2.100, but I'm stumped as to how to bring it up automatically on boot. I tried copying net.eth0 to net.eth0:0 in the init scripts and this didn't seem to want to work. How do you do this? I'm coming from redhat and the whole change of how stuff starts up and where it is in /etc/ is a bit bewildering to me currently. Thanks in advance.

I added net.eth0 to the default startup like you said , but that only starts up eth0 for me, not eth0:0. Where do I enter the virtual interface info? I get errors when I put it in the /etc/conf.d/net file.

this is what I get with my current entry when I restart /etc/init.d/net.eth0
/sbin/runscript.sh: line 9: iface_eth0:0=192.168.1.108 broadcast 192.168.1.255 netmask 255.255.255.0: command not found
