Description Bill Moran 2003-06-13 20:30:16 UTC 
 	
 It seems that many folks new to FreeBSD are confused on how ports are
 started automatically at boot.  While the section on configuring FreeBSD
 does a good job of explaining this, the section on ports is where the
 user will look.  This patch adds a pointer in the post-install section
 referring the user to the proper explaination.

How-To-Repeat: 
 Forget how ports work, then install a port that should run as a daemon
 and try to figure out what's starting it.  You may find it, but it's
 more likely you'll give up frustrated.  Many ports install a sample
 script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d, which means the daemon doesn't start
 on reboot ... and this is even more confusing!
