You could write an init script -- it would be one of those files that start with an "S" in your /etc/rc?.d directory -- which use a symbolic link to the appropriate script in the /etc/init.d directory.

HOWEVER, if my answer above doesn't make sense to you -- don't do it. Writing a shell script with a bug is a good way to brick your Nokia if you make a mistake. (But maybe someone else will provide a list of instructions in this thread for you to try.)
