My freshly installed 2.2.6 has this in rc.conf: moused_enable="YES" # Run the mouse daemon. moused_type="auto" # See man page for rc.conf(5) for available settings. moused_port="/dev/psm0" # Set to your mouse port. moused_flags="" # Any additional flags to moused. If you're specifying the mouse_type directly, specify "ps/2" instead of microsoft. You might want some flags for moused_flags, man moused for those. Why you got kicked into single user, I can only guess. I'd /guess/ it had something to do with your changes :) Like a missing closing /"/ maybe?
