Edit /etc/rc.conf and add the following lines:
moused_enable="YES"
moused_type="auto"
moused_port="/dev/ums0"
moused_flags=""
usbd_enable="YES"
usbd_flags=""
also make sure you have this in your kernel conf
controller uhci0
controller ohci0
controller usb0
device ums0
when you boot up type vidcontrol -m on.
That did it for me when i couldn't figure out was wrong. Does your mouse
work at all in /stand/sysinstall after you edited the /etc/rc.conf like you
are supposed to? I have a logitech usb mouse and it works fine as well as a
razor boomslang usb mouse. Good luck.
