My freshly installed 2.2.6 has this in rc.conf:
moused_enable="YES" # Run the mouse daemon.
moused_type="auto" # See man page for rc.conf(5) for available settings.
moused_port="/dev/psm0" # Set to your mouse port.
moused_flags="" # Any additional flags to moused.
If you're specifying the mouse_type directly, specify "ps/2" instead
of microsoft. You might want some flags for moused_flags, man moused
for those.
Why you got kicked into single user, I can only guess. I'd /guess/ it
had something to do with your changes :) Like a missing closing /"/ maybe?
