In the /etc/oratab file set the third column to Y, when a database is created it is added out there as N.
Then in your boot rc type file you can add the command dbstart with the name of the SID and it will start up your database up for you. But don't forget to start the listener also. You would add the command lsnrctl start to the file. Of course you should provide the correct paths to the above named commands and the piping of the commands ouput to the correct place.
