What are you trying to do? Start X?
If so, modify /etc/ttys to start xdm: I use ttyv7 and ttyv7.
====== <snip> from /etc/ttys
# select one of the following two sets of lines
# the ttyv6 + ttyv7 "on" lines for syscons
# The ttyv6 "off" + ttyv7 "xterm" pair for X11
#
#ttyv6 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on secure
#ttyv7 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on secure
#
ttyv6 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 off secure
ttyv7 "/usr/X11R6/bin/xdm -nodaemon" xterm on secure
from here, you can control X from your .x* files,
