Sure!

Here is the RC script:

Here is the relevant snippet from my error log:

060622 23:54:39  mysqld started
060622 23:54:39 [ERROR] Can't find messagefile '/usr/local/share/ 
mysql/english/errmsg.sys'
060622 23:54:39 [ERROR] Aborting

060622 23:54:39  mysqld ended


This file does exist, and has the same permissions assigned to it  
that my working FreeBSD machine has, so I don't think this error  
message should be taken at face value.
