I just tried to send this on to the original sender, and failed, so I've
sent it to the list in case it's useful:
To: vernon@eds.com.bta.net
I just switched from a serial mouse to a PS/2 mouse. This is copied
pretty much from my sysadmin book of power.
- Rebuild kernel with
options ALLOW_CONFLICT_IOADDR
device psm0 at isa? port "IO_KBD" tty irq 12 vector psmintr
- Reboot with new kernel
- Make mouse device
# cd /dev; ./MAKEDEV psm0
- Alter X config file (/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config) and set the
following in the mouse section
Protocol "PS/2"
Device "/dev/psm0"
That was all I had to do, and it works like a charm.
Hope it helps,

I hope I don't get run over again.
