Autologin in FreeBSD without GDM

Autologin and startx without GDM or other display manager:

1. Add this line to /etc/gettytab to describe new terminal line with autologin

   al.username:al=username:tc=std.230400:

   , where <username> is user to log in automatically. "al.username" is the terminal name which can be any.
2. Change ttyv0 line in /dev/ttys from this:

   ttyv0 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" xterm on secure

   to this

   ttyv0 "/usr/libexec/getty al.username" xterm on secure

   to spawn auto logged in terminal at Alt+F1 console.
3. Set login shell on ttyv0 to start X11 immediately

   echo 'if $tty == ttyv0 startx' >> ~/.login

4. Reboot.
5. X11 will start automatically for <username>.
