>Description:
I installed the mysql40-server package on my system frist from the sysinstall program then downloading the file manually and installing with pkg-add.. sysinstall returned an error that the script failed to run correctly.. And when running with pkg-add the output yeilded that the /var/db/mysql directory did not exist and was not being created by the install script.. 
>How-To-Repeat:
fresh install of FreeBSD 5.2.1 w/o any mysql DBs installed (and no /var/db/mysql directory) and install the mysql40-server package.
>Fix:
create the /var/db/mysql directory before installing mysql40-server
