Given:
Running a Compaq ProLinea 3/25zs with a
Sony CDROM (Model # CDU50E) successfully used during FreeBSD
installation process.
FreeBSD ver 2.1 installed and running with the Generic kernel loaded at
install time.
X running with keyboard support but with no mouse support.
The wrong mouse designated during install time!
The kernel has never been rebuilt.
Problem: startx aborts with the message -
Fatal Server Error: Cannot open mouse:(device not
configured)
Solution ???? I guess I need to configure my mouse which is a PS/2 mouse
and a text indicates that /dev/psaux is an appropriate designation. But I
have questions.
Q1. Do I need to rebuild my kernel - just to use a PS/2 mouse?
Q2. If so, how do I create a MSDOS Partition so that I can install from
that partition after I have moved the src into c:\FREEBSD\SRC (manual
2.2.3
Q3. Due to disk space limitations, can I do the copy incrementally.
Q4. Do I correctly understand that FreeBSD 2.1 cannot directly access the
Sony CDROM drive?
Best Regards
Bob Palank
