Well, I'm running Gentoo linux, and the simple command, so long as you have "boinc" in /etc/init.d is

rc-update add boinc default
This will add boinc to the default runlevel, runlevel 3.

rc-update add boinc boot
And this one adds it to boot, which occurrs before default, but in my expereince, might as well just leave it at default.

In Ubuntu, try to edit /etc/rc.local by using:
sudo gedit /etc/rc.local

Add a line before "exit 0" as:
/opt/BOINC/run_client >/dev/null
where /opt/BOINC is what your BOINC installed dir.

This will start the client as root after Ubuntu booting into multi-user level.
