If there is no output, then it is possible that the kernel has not detected the PS/2 mouse device for some reason or other. The reason this happens most often with me is that I forget to reenable some devices after I disable them while installing FreeBSD :) Do you have a file called /boot/kernel.conf? If yes, can you post its contents? If it has a line saying 'dis psm' or 'dis psm0' or something similar, remove that line, reboot the machine and try starting moused again. G'luck, Peter -- If there were no counterfactuals, this sentence would not have been paradoxical.
