Daemons in the base system will (should) start automatically. (inetd is
one of them).  If you installed the system (i.e., 4.x) with ssh, sshd can
be enabled in rc.conf.  Another poster has pointed you in this direction.

And, of course, you can start daemons manually.  Specify the full path, as
other replies have mentioned.

The accepted way to invoke a daemon at boot time under FreeBSD is to add a
shell script to /usr/local/etc/rc.d/  Go to that directory and look at
some of the existing files to get an idea of how to create such a shell
script.
