Geeky way:

Open /etc/gettytab and add the following rows at the bottom:

freesbie:\
	:al=freesbie:ht:np:sp#115200:

Assuming 'freesbie' is the user you want to login. Then edit /etc/ttys,
find the ttyv0 line and substitute "Pc" with "freesbie" or whatever
label you putted in gettytab.

ttyv0	"/usr/libexec/getty freesbie"	cons25	on	secure

Then kill -HUP 1 to make changes effective. To make X autostart, I
modified my .cshrc, you can do the same depending on your chosen shell.
I added a row:

[ "$?DISPLAY" = "0"] && [ "$?SSH_CLIENT" = "0" ] && startx

Bye,
Dario
