>Description:
For MySQL 4.0.x:
The MESSAGE files doesn't mention the included files/mysqld.sh file. Starting and stopping the server via mysql.sh is much more convenient, isn't it? In fact I wonder why this rc script doesn't get copied to rc.d by default? Compared to other packages this is what I would have excpected. 

For MySQL 4.1.x:
In the MESSAGE file it says:
You can start the MySQL server doing the following steps:
$ echo "mysqld=yes" >> /etc/rc.conf # NetBSD or a system with rc.d
$ ${RCD_SCRIPTS_DIR}/mysqld start

The mysqld file, however, never gets copied to RCD_SCRIPTS_DIR.
>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
Copy the file files/mysqld.sh to RCD_SCRIPTS_DIR manually
