You did not do anything wrong. FreeBSD doesn't start with a desktop
environment by default.

You should read =A7 5.7 of the FreeBSD manual. It's available as
/usr/share/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/index.html or on the
FreeBSD website http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/
That section explains how to boot into a desktop environment by default.
