I installed Webmin on my server using the package from the webmin site, and opted for it to load at boot, but it won't do it. What should I do to have Webmin load at boot?

The "ugly" solution is to add the command for webmin to /etc/rc.local. The commands in this file are executed during systemboot.
A nicer solution is to write an rc.d-script, put it in /etc/rc.d/ and add the script to your /etc/rc.conf.
Should you try to write a script, it's best to start off with one that's already in /etc/rc.d and see how it works.

I took the rc.local way and it works great and is the easiest to me. In case you're wondering how to set it up I posted the line I have in my /etc/rc.local below. Adjust to your install directory of course.

Great, thanks. And you don't have any problems with boot or anything? No need to manually start it after boot?

Nope. It basically starts the webmin service in the background as root. Never had a problem with it yet.
