Hello,

I am trying to install FreeBSD 2.2.8 onto my computer w/ PS/2 mouse.  When it boots from boot floppy I go to the install menu.  It shows me all the devices it's going to probe for.  I decelect most of them.  The two that give me the most trouble are :console(keyboard0 and the PS/2 mouse.  They both use address x60.  I know for sure that keyboard is address x60.  And I know that PS/2 is at IRQ 12, but I am unable to find the address of it.  I've asked a couple of people, they don't know or keep telling me that it's a COM port.   Could someone please help me with my problem, please?  I've spend the whole week trying to figure out the problem and put a random address in.  In most cases I get Kerrnel Panic.

Thank you very much

Nu2BSD
