Hi -
First a brief explanation of the error messages:
>208# mysqld_safe
>Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/db/mysql
>Abort trap
>STOPPING server from pid file /var/db/mysql/208.35.141.195.pid
>

Okay, your daemon's already dead... nothing below here is going to work,
because MySQL isn't running.
There's nothing for the client applications to connect to.

I'm not sure what "abort trap" is all about.
I've never seen it, and I run FreeBSD 4.7 on my production boxes.
You might have better luck installing from the FreeBSD Ports Collection.
(portinstall /ports/databases/mysql41-server, etc...)
Other things:
You should be backgrounding the safe_mysqld process, otherwise the
daemon will exit when you hit enter.
(ie. #/usr/local/bin/safe_mysqld & )
Finally, tail your error_log. It probably contains some useful
information about your problem.
If you can't figure it out, post a relevant portion back to the list.
I'm not sure where your install is, but the error log is usually located
in the /data directory, and named something like hostname.err.
