I have FreeBSD 2.0.5 installed, and want to set it up to run X
automatically, while still allowing me to drop back to text-only mode.
How do I go about doing this, or which file do I read thast explains
this?

I need to be able to drop back to text-mode while root, but I would
like to prevent other users from doing this. Basically, I would like
xdm or something to run magically, I guess.
