There are two things that I've seen go wrong with this, and haven't reported because I thought they were my fault; so tell me if you see them: 1) Init then starts up a second init, which, FreeBSD won't let you kill. 2) Some things, like removal of a pppd on cuaa3, won't take affect if you comment them out or even delete the line. Otherwise you should be fine. I guess I must have fucked something up :-) > Thanks again, and any more mouse ideas? :) > > At 09:28 PM 8/4/97 -0400, you wrote: > >> Greetings, > >> During boot, my system correctly finds my PS/2 mouse on psm0.
