Updated for 3.17

I just ran into this and am a little disappointed that this has been unanswered for 7 months and isn't already covered by the Alpine wiki.

  1. The command is actually rc-update add syslog boot, not syslogd
  2. If you haven't already, on Alpine < 3.17, you need to add openrc and busybox-initscripts with apk add openrc busybox-initscripts. On Alpine >= 3.17, you can add a single package apk add busybox-openrc
