Did you added mysql_enable="YES" to /etc/rc.conf?
Yes, it's in there, as per your instructions :-)
That is *actually* supposed to be mysqld_enable="YES". You're missing the
'd'. If you read the script located in /usr/local/etc/rc.d, you'll see a
comment of the exact line to add to your rc.conf file.
To start a server without rebooting the system, simply type the following
(this example is for mysqld):
# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysqld.sh start
Umm, this is snipped directly from the script:
# Add the following line to /etc/rc.conf to enable mysql: # mysql_enable (bool): Set to "NO" by default. # Set it to "YES" to enable MySQL.
Is that wrong? *Should* it be mysqld_enable-"YES" within the script? If so, that's a kind of major oversight on the mysql/freebsd teams' part no?
I am in the company of gurus so I should really keep my n00b trap (mostly) shut - as is usually the case :)

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?
