i've done this before...don't worry it shouldn't do anything to the motor because the motor wasn't at 2000+ rpm.

You don't want to do it all the time, but once or twice won't really do much damage. The noise you heard was your engine 'lugging'. It's pretty much the same thing that happens when you're in traffic in first, and you don't give it enough gas and it starts to buck.

or is it too much load on the motor and its knocking?

If you don't mind raping your clutch, you can start it in 5th as well. I could do it on accident in my S10, but that had plenty of torque .
"Man, my truck feels slow as **** today."
"You're in fifth, dude."
"Oh."
