To start oracle automatically, edit your /etc/oratab, it shud be something like
this:

 Entries are of the form:
#      $ORACLE_SID:$ORACLE_HOME:<N|Y>:
#
#  The first and second fields are the system identifier and home
#  directory of the database respectively.  The third field indicates
#  to the dbstart utility that the database should, "Y", or should not,
#  "N", be brought up at system boot time.
#
#  Multiple entries with the same $ORACLE_SID are not allowed.

Make your entry or edit it by changing the N to Y and your oracle will start
automatically after every boot.
If you still have problems with your dbstart, let me know I will provide you my
working scripts.
