That is verrrrrry little info.
Version of bsd at least.
But anyway, after login you are in root. try typing kdm or gdm or xdm first.
see if you had them installed.
if you didn't I recommend that you install them (one at least). It simplyfies the process of X loading

create a file in your home directory called .xinitrc with fluxbox or the full path to fluxbox as the one item in that file.

I find myself in puzzle here. Do you have X up and running or you cannot start it
