Subject:   cant get mouse to work

Hi,

Im running FBSD 3.2-stable from a walnut creek cd set.  my box has 
no ps/2 connection for my ps/2 mouse. 

I have a standard 2 button ps\2 mouse which im trying to get to 
work from a serial port using a ps\2-serial adapter. my bios has 
com1 and com2 at the usual places, and my kernel has sio0 and sio1 
set accordingly.

using the mouse configuration tool under /stand/sysinstall i cant 
get my mouse to move under any of the permutations. mouseman, 
sysmouse, microsoft, none of them at any port will enable the 
mouse.  i suspect it has something to do with the ps/2-serial 
adapter... anyone experience this? do i have to go in search of a 
"real" serial mouse? why cant the adapter work like in Winblows?

replys to my home e-mail are apreciated.

TIA,
Ric, NY
