adding hal to rc.conf??

what is the wording to add hal to rc.conf?? I have tried adding  hal,hald, hal start..to rc.conf daemon section but it gives error on boot saying  "hal unknown command'..or something like that...i have followed wiki beginners guide and am stuck at this part..what should the rc.conf hal entry look like?
Just to add if i use /etc/rc.d/hal start   it works..and I can use my mouse and keyboard..

Put in the DAEMONS array. This is what it looks like in my rc.conf:

DAEMONS=(syslog-ng hal network net-profiles !netfs @crond @openntpd @avahi-daemon @cups @sshd @smbnetfs @privoxy @irqbalance oss @mpd)

For future reference, you use the same name as the file in /etc/rc.d/.
