            Bug ID: 289173
           Summary: mouse(8): Probes non-existing /dev/ttyv* in bhyve
           Product: Base System
           Version: 15.0-CURRENT
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: bin
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: michaelo@FreeBSD.org

Running FreeBSD 15 from 2025-08-28 ISO in bhyve on 13.5-STABLE via UEFI boot. I
have enabled moused, likely pointless in the VM, but I see the following
startup message:
Starting default moused.
eval: cannot open /dev/ttyv*: No such file or directory

It comes from moused script:
        for ttyv in /dev/ttyv* ; do
                vidcontrol < ${ttyv} ${mousechar_arg} -m on
        done

I don't know much about moused, but either it should not start in VMs or one
must check before the foor loop wether ttyv* exist...
