s6-rc-set-install checks that the set of services set has been committed and that no changes have occurred since.
It takes the corresponding service database and copies it to bootdbdir.
It takes the corresponding service database and copies it to the same directory as bootdb.
It calls s6-rc-update on that copy of the compiled service database, which makes it the new live database. Some services may be stopped, and other started, in the process.
It updates the bootdb link to point to the new database, so that +next boot uses it.
