You can either manually edit the scripts but the best way is to run

sudo update-rc.d webmin enable

and all the required entries will be made cleanly - less risk of breakage of essential startup scripts.

and the reverse to disable

sudo update-rc.d webmin disable

You can disable Webmin starting at boot from the Webmin interface, in the Webmin Configuration module. At the bottom of the module window is the option to set when Webmin starts. You can invoke Webmin to start via command-line sudo service webmin start when configured not to start at boot.
