I just stumbled through this problem yesterday. Rebuilding a new kernel didn't
help, then I noticed that the original line appeared in the GENERIC config file
as:
device psm0 at isa? port disabled "IO_KBD" conflicts tty irq 12 vector psmintr
^^^^^^^^
The keyword "disabled" must be removed, another kernel built and then the mouse
will work fine.
