 From the 8.0 release notes is the following
http://www.freebsd.org/releases/8.0R/relnotes-detailed.html

[amd64, i386] The uart(4) is now the default driver for serial port 
devices in favor of the sio(4) driver. Note that the device nodes have 
been renamed with /dev/cuauN and /dev/ttyuN.

tested these rc.conf statements

moused_port="/dev/cuau0"
moused_type="intellimouse"
moused_enable="YES"

serial mouse works again

This means sysinstall mouse config needs to be changed to reflect the 
new dev names.
