Yes, I have that option, but even with it disabled, the serial mouse
does not work and the mouse config screen defaults to PS/2! At the
office where I have no PS/2 at all, ttyS0 was used automatically.

I tried enabling the PS/2 port and using a serial-to-PS/2 adapter, but
that didn't change anything. I don't know if the PS/2 port is broken
or what on my mainboard, but it doesn't work in Windows, either.
I could live with all of the above if only the text install didn't
crash.
