 After getting the e-mail i looked to see if i had
 /dev/psm0 in which case i did so because i did not
 know
 what do if the files already exists i deleted it and
 created it again. I got the same message on my system
 when i ran "moused -i all -p /dev/psm0" again i did 
 not build a custom kernel yet so i still have the
 default kernel. I have those four lines of code in my
 kernel configuration. is there any other things i can
 do that will help me.
