If you want it to start on boot, you have to make sure GDM is installed 
(it should be if Gnome is installed properly), and make sure 
/usr/X11R6/etc/rc.d/gdm.sh exists. There should be a file called 
gdm.sh.sample installed in that directory by GDM. You can just do:

# cd /usr/X11R6/etc/rc.d
# cp gdm.sh.sample gdm.sh

If you reboot, gdm should start automatically, showing you a grapical 
login that will log you into Gnome.
