Seems to be the same "problem" as mine: kern.securelevel.
Have a look into the manpage of init(8) for the backgrounds.
Then you can edit /etc/rc.conf and change the value for kern_securelevel.
But have a look into /etc/rc, there's a line (line 624 on my box) con-
taining "in [ "${kern_securelevel}" -ge 0 ]; then".
The lines below this line raise the securelevel, if the value is 0 or
greater. But if I set kern_securelevel="0" (in /etc/rc.conf), the
securelevel raises up to 1.
So I changed in /etc/rc, line 624 the "ge" into "gt" and I got X started.
At this time I don't understand correctly the behaviour of /etc/rc.
Perhaps this is a bug? Any comments?
Hope, this helps.

Eckart
