Two ways to acheive this:
1) Put your shell commands in a startup file in /etc/rc2.d directly, keep in mind that files residing in /etc/rc2.d follow some rules i.e. filenames starting with S are startup scripts while starting with K are kill scripts, after S or K prefix there comes a 2 digit number like S10 or S65, it tells rc the sequence of startup scripts, so I'll suggest you to give it a name like S99xyz so that it runs in the last and doesn't disturb any other sequence and also is displayed at the bottom of the list of directory.
2)Second way is that create a symbolic link for your script suppose it is at path /home/t1.sh and /etc/rc2.d/S99t1.sh(Startup file)
Choose the best which suits your situation.

Tayyab
