Assuming you are using the mysql port (ports/packages are FreeBSD's
equivalent to RPMs.  See http://www.freebsd.org/ports ), the startup
scripts are in /usr/local/etc/rc.d, and mysqld lives in
/usr/local/libexec.

If you did not build using the port, then no startup scripts were
installed and you'll probably have to run mysqld_safe yourself from
/etc/rc.local.
