Look at the 'GENERIC' file and you'll see a line like the following: device psm0 at isa? disable port "IO_KBD" conflicts tty irq 12 vector psmintr This is the driver for the PS/2 mouse. You must 'enable' it at boot time by using the '-c' (configure) option at the boot prompt. Once you get to the configure menu, 'enable' the psm0 driver by typing: > enable psm0 > quit And it will attempt to find your PS/2 mouse. Tell us what happens. ;) Nate
