"tty00" has gone out of style.  "man sio" will give you the latest
interface.

I believe MAKEDEV is treating "sh MAKEDEV tty00" as "sh MAKEDEV
tty" and is re-making the base tty devices.  Use "/dev/ttyd0".
You probably need to turn on clocal on the "initial open state"
device for the mouse; put

> stty clocal < /dev/ttyid0

in your /etc/rc.serial.
