mysql *should* have installed (if you installed it from ports) with a 
startup script named 111.mysqld.sh in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/, which *should* 
make it startup first.  If you compiled from source, your startup script 
simply needs to be named mysqld.sh so that it starts before snort.sh. 
Startup scripts are processed numerically and then alphabetically.
