This is Classic - there is nothing to start. Just make sure xinetd is running, and connect a client, e.g., isql to a database.

If you need it, make an entry in /etc/services

gds_db 3050/tcp #Firebird listener

But the installation script should have done that for you. It defines the port that xinetd listens on for Firebird remote connection requests

Read the Quick Start Guide that is in the /doc/ directory and the installation notes for POSIX.
