About 'when to start xdm', I've found that although I can't put it earlier than /etc/ttys, this can be worked around by splitting /etc/rc into a section which must run before xdm (mount FS's, swapon, run syslogd, run rc.i386, not much else) which then runs /etc/rc.X in the background. Xdm then runs from ttys. (/etc/rc.X has a sleep 10 at the start to give X time to get going) and then /etc/rc.X does all the stuff that X doesn't need.
