yea sorta, exit sysinstall and then it will ask if you want to shutdown
and reboot.

You can call it X, X11, X11R6, X Window System, etc. but never call it
"X Windows", Anyways... The X configuration part was taken out of
sysinstall. I don't know if you installed X (you'd know if you did
though) but to set it up you can run "Xorg -configure" and do what it
says. Read chapter 5 of the FreeBSD handbook (at least read sections;
5.2, 5.4, and 5.7) for more info:
