+To replace FreeBSD's standard syslogd with msyslog, do this:
+
+1) Create a configuration in %%PREFIX%%/etc/syslog.conf.
+    See %%PREFIX%%/share/examples/msyslog for examples.
+
+2) Set up a startup script in %%PREFIX%%/etc/rc.d.
+    For your convinience, a msyslog.sh has been provided.
+    put this in /etc/rc.conf
+  
+    msyslogd_enable="YES"
+
+3) Pass right values from man pages to /etc/rc.conf for 
+    msyslogd_flags=""
+
+4) Stop the standard FreeBSD syslogd from starting automatically by putting this
+    in the end of /etc/rc.conf:
+
+    syslogd_enable="NO"
