Hmmmm, psm sounds mouse-related.  When I have an intellimouse with the wheel
connected to my Belkin KVM I get different behavior out of FreeBSD depending
on whether the KVM was switched to the fbsd box at boot time or not.  The
problem manifested as tons of errors about "out of sync" as the mouse moved
after switching to/from the fbsd box.  I worked around it by adding "flags
0x0200" to the kernel config for the psm0 device.  As I recall, that flag
tells the driver to treat the mouse as generic (no wheel), which suits me
fine (since the wheel annoys me and I physically ripped it out of the
mouse).
