To run it from the command line, "gdm". To run at boot, as
the docs say:

- Do _NOT_ use /etc/ttys to start gdm at boot time.  This will result in gdm 
  hanging or restarting constantly.  Instead, copy the included gdm.sh.sample 
  script to gdm.sh, and restart.  This script is found, by default, in
  /usr/X11R6/etc/rc.d.


HTH.
