It is not clear what this means. This could mean:
  1. The XDM Display Manager is started by rc(8) by having xdm_flags configured to something other than NO in /etc/rc.conf.local if you created the file, or /etc/rc.conf if you did not.
  2. The Gnome Display Manager was installed and you have enabled it in via the rc.d(8) subsystem, such as by adding it to the pkg_scripts variable in /etc/rc.conf.local or /etc/rc.conf.
  3. You are starting X via shell .profile or some other method.
Only you can determine which of these three things you have done. If it is a. or b., all you need to do is have a one line .xsession file in your home directory, as I already mentioned above. It performs the same function as a .xinitrc file when X is started manually. Again, if you need this:
Code:
$ echo exec gnome-session > ~/.xsession
Of course, you must have already installed gnome-session using pkg_add(1). Have you done this?

Your question on mounting foreign file systems -- if that is what it was -- is probably answered in FAQ 14.16. I recommend you read FAQ 14 in its entirety, as it will provide valuable context.
