Subject:   Two Questions about usb keyboards and mice

First, something i found odd, on two systems, is it seems, without
having moused_enable="yes" in rc.conf, if you plug a usb mouse in, it
wont work. i have tried everything i can think of, but it just wont
work. It does start the process (as defined in usbd.conf) but there is
no mouse cursor. if i turn on the moused in rc.conf it works fine,
although i of course get an error message about psm0 since i dont have
a mouse hooked to it. question is, is this a bug or by design, and if
someone knows a work around.

second thing, does anyone know of a patch/hack/etc to get the boot
manager to recongnize a usb keyboard? the only way i can boot different
drives is via a ps/2 keyboard.. theres gotta be a fix since alot of the
name brand machines today have started removing ps/2 connections, so i
must not be looking in the right places..

any help would be appreciated..
