I have been trying to get my PS/2 mouse to work on my FreeBSD box
and here is what I have..

>From the bootup messages:

Oct 28 23:27:11 the /kernel: psm0: current command byte:0047
Oct 28 23:27:11 the /kernel: psm0: failed to reset the aux device.

Any help in getting this to work would be greatly appreciated. I know the mouse 
works because I used a serial adapter to check it. But since I am using a 
Belkin Omniview to control this machine and another machine it is cheaper
to get the ps/2 working than purchasing 2 custom made cables.
Thanx in Advance for the assistance
Ron
