Please do the following and send me two copies of dmesg output.

Step 1. Start your system by typing "boot -v" at the loader prompt.
	I expect the PS/2 mouse is not recognized this time.
Step 2. After the system is up, run dmesg.
Step 3. Reboot the system. This time type
		unset acpi_load
		boot -v
	at the loader prompt. The PS/2 mouse MAY be recognized.
Step 4. After the system is up, run dmesg.

Send dmesg output obtained in the step 2 and 4.

If your PS/2 mouse is recognized in step 3, put the following line
in /boot/device.hints until ACPI issues are resolved.

hint.acpi.0.disable=1
