Yes, edit the kernel configuration file (i.e.: /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC for the GENERIC kernel) and find the line with device psm0 on it. Remove the word disable. On newer systems (maybe only recent -current systems) psm0 isn't disabled by default. On some systems, checking for a PS/2 mouse without one attached will cause problems. YMMY. - alex
