Yes, you're very right.  I meant moused.  I've tried both manual config of rc.conf and /stand/sysinstall

I've now tried both "auto" and "ps/2"

Here's some output:

bash-2.03# ls -l /dev/psm0 /dev/sysmouse /dev/mouse
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel        13 Jan 11 16:32 /dev/mouse -> /dev/sysmouse
crw-------  1 root  wheel   21,   1 Dec  7 17:34 /dev/psm0
crw-------  1 root  wheel   12, 128 Nov 16 13:19 /dev/sysmouse

bash-2.03# moused -p /dev/psm0 -i all
/dev/psm0 ps/2 sysmouse generic

bash-2.03# dmesg | grep psm
psm0 irq 12 on isa
psm0: model Generic PS/2 mouse, device ID 0


Thanks a lot for helping - I really need that COM-port for an external modem :-)
