The sript itself should at any rate reside in /etc/init.d/
Then you create a link from wherever you'd like to get it started; I
suggest putting it in /etc/rc2.
Go to /etc/init.d/ and create a file...for example "local"
Edit it:
#!/sh/bin
...Scripts or deamons to load at startup.
Make the file executable:
chmod +x local
Create a symbolic Link in rc1.d or rcS.d
ln -s /etc/init.d/local /etc/rcS.d/S98local
Works like a charm ;-)
