BSD init is not different from SysV init. Scripts are organized somewhat differently but that's about the extent of it - traditional BSD uses a giant rc.conf file to select scripts and SysV init uses a giant ball of symlinks. Later BSDs use automatic discovery with dependency tags for ordering and later SysV inits use LSB dependencies to order the startup.
Init scripts themselves are pretty much identical - they are started by "script start" and stopped by "script stop".

BSD isn't as different from SysV as it is from OpenRC or systemd, but "organized differently" is "different". And in particular, the BSD-ish scripts (from a very old BSD?) in Slackware lack the LSB headers that systemd's sysv-generators use, which was the focus of my comment.
