Installing and running mySQL on Mac OS 10.4

I'm hoping someone here might be able to point me in the right direction. I've installed mySQL, and in Terminal got so far as getting the response "Starting MySQL database server", but then it just goes to a "/usr/local/mysql Bob$" prompt, and nothing else happens. Did it launch? I've been told I need to use a script via the command line mysql utility, but can't seem to find where that is.

When I search for help on the Web, I find many, many articles for advanced users, but nothing that gives a step-by-step walkthrough to someone just trying to install mySQL successfully on Mac 10.4 and make it work with CF. Is Mac making this such an endeavor? Thanks.
