>Description:
        If /var/mysql (or, more generally, mysql_datadir) is a mount point,
        the mysqld rc.d script will fail to notice it has to create the
        initial system databases.
        This is because checks existance of the directory itself, which,
        of course, had to be created if it's a mount point.
        It would better check for the mysql databse inside the directory.
>How-To-Repeat:
        pkg_add mysql-server
        cp /usr/pkg/share/examples/rc.d/mysqld /etc/rc.d/
        mkdir /var/mysql
        mount /dev/xxx /var/mysql # not strictly neccessary
        /etc/rc.d/mysqld start
>Fix:
        In the rc script (function mysqld_precmd()), change
                if [ ! -d ${mysqld_datadir} ]; then
        to
                if [ ! -d ${mysqld_datadir}/mysql ]; then
