After using Linux for the past three years, I thought it was time to delve into the realm of FreeBSD. I recently ordered and recevied the four CD copy of FreeBSD 2.2.8 from cdrom.com. The installation went smoothly except for one slight hitch: it absolutely refuses to see my ps/2 mouse port. During the boot process (from the CDROM and, later, from the generic kernel that was installed) I thought a saw it say: psm0 device not found at 0x60. I confirmed this in /var/log/messages. First thing after installing I recompiled the kernel, primarily so I could use sound and mount my linux partition, but I also checked to make sure that the necessary line for the psm0 device was listed. It was, but the same error still showed up when booting. Also, /dev/psm0 does exist, however I did eventually run MAKEDEV to see if that would fix the problem. Nope. I know that my ps/2 port works fine since I can use the mouse under Linux and Windows (both of which I have installed on the same machine as the fbsd). Any help would be appreciated. BTW, the computer in question is a Compaq Presario 2200. Thanks. Adam Kirchhoff To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
