In almost all distros, put whatever you want executed at system boot into

/etc/rc.local

or you put the commands line by line, or you create a script and put the path to the script in /etc/rc.local

this is the content of the rc.local
what is the execution bits?

#!/bin/sh -e
#
# rc.local
#
# This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel.
# Make sure that the script will "exit 0" on success or any other
# value on error.
#
# In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution
# bits.
#
# By default this script does nothing.

exit 0
