silient and very short auto-start

[David Hanney]

Mysql works great after installing the freebsd3.1 binary package
- if started manually.
The problem is that it doesn't auto-start at boot.

safe_mysqld seems to run without error.
But it quits (without error) about 1 second later:
Here is the log output:

   mysqld started on  Thu Apr 1 11:38:05 GMT 1999
   mysqld ended on  Thu Apr 1 11:38:06 GMT 1999

Any ideas appreciated!
