I would check the /var/log/messages log file for anything related to 
mysql, in this case.  There's a reason it won't start, and it'll be 
indicated there.

My bad on the syntax.  After looking, I have a script called 
mysql-server.sh that doesn't require an entry in rc.conf.  What version 
of mysql are you using?  Was it installed from ports?  What version of 
FreeBSD?

Thanks.
