Look in /usr/local/share/mysql for my.cnf examples you can use for tuning
your install. One thing that bit me once was the location of the my.cnf
changed. I used to keep it in /var/db/mysql but found after one particular
upgrade it seemed like it wasn't being read any longer. That was because
the FreeBSD port install's new default location changed to /usr/local/etc.
