Thats what the startup scripts are for. They should automatically start
required scripts. If in doubt take a look at the init script. In my
/etc/init.d/mysql it says:
depend() {
use dns net
That means mysql will use the network and dns resolution operating, but
doesn't need them.

As someone else said, look in your logs.
To check that mysql is actually running try the ps command.
ps ax|grep mysql
