I'm sure someone will have a better solution, but you might want to 
try using a smaller number for the filename of the MySQL alias in the 
rc3 directory. I think the default is 99? The lower the number, the 
earlier it is loaded...

Again, I could be completely full of shit, but I seem to remember 
this working for me.
