This sounds a lot like a question an IRIX user would ask. FreeBSD does
not have run levels like IRIX (or System V, but I am not sure about
System V). If you look in '/etc' you will notice that 'rc2.d', 'rc0d',
and 'rc6.d' are all missing.

For FreeBSD, to start xdm automatically at boot you should include an
appriate command line in the file '/etc/rc.local'

Mine simply has an entry 'xdm' and that's all.
