I actually just got throug this last night myself...there are a couple
of ways to look at it depending on how you installed MySQL (from
source or ports tree, etc), one being the FreeBSD handbook, and the
other is the MySQL documentation. The latter provides a startup script
in the MySQL source that you simply copy to /usr/local/etc/rc.d. See
the following page for specifics:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/unix-post-installation.html

Hope this helps,
