you could have found the answer to this with a little searching in the
archives, but here ya go...
change the psm device line to read:
device psm0 at atkbdc? irq 12 flags 0x100
also, man psm describes why the "flags 0x100" is needed...
Driver Flags
The psm driver accepts the following driver flags. Set them in the ker
nel configuration file or in the User Configuration Menu at the boot time
(see boot(8)).
<snip>
bit 8 NOCHECKSYNC
The psm driver tries to detect the first byte of the data packet
by checking the bit pattern of that byte. Although this method
should work with most PS/2 pointing devices, it may interfere with
some devices which are not so compatible with known devices. If
you think your pointing device is not functioning as expected, and
the kernel frequently prints the following message to the console,
psmintr: out of sync (xxxx != yyyy).
set this flag to disable synchronization check and see if it
helps.
