You need to put something in one of the system startup scripts to start it
automatically.  Although I think most systems already contain something in
the scripts that checks for the existence of /etc/named.conf and starts
named automatically.  Perhaps you didn't install named where the standard
script expects.  Grep for "named" in the rc scripts.
