Confirmed, 8.0-RC1 with GENERIC kernel (my toyaround machine).
In 7.2 used the sysinstall/configur/mouse menu and it was the one that
crated the moused_port="/dev/cuad0" rc.conf statment as showen in first
post.
That should have been the correct setting. On version 7, I
have /dev/cuad0, /dev/cuad0.init and /dev/cuad0.lock. On
version 8, there's /dev/cuau0, /dev/cuau0.init and
/dev/cuau0.lock instead.
Maybe loading a kernel module is required to have the
serial ports available again?
/dev does have cuau0 & cuau1 for uucp dialer. could this be the names of
the serial ports in 8.0?
It seems that they don't work for the mouse because they're
something different.
I think there's another problem rising: Assume you want to
have a serial dialin line (e. g. for a serial terminal), then
you would have something like
ttyd0 "/usr/libexec/getty std.115200" vt320 on secure
in /etc/ttys. The question would be: If /dev/ttyd0 does not
exist anymore, how to make this work again?
From the 8.0 release notes is the following
http://www.freebsd.org/releases/8.0R/relnotes-detailed.html
[amd64, i386] The uart(4) is now the default driver for serial port
devices in favor of the sio(4) driver. Note that the device nodes have
been renamed with /dev/cuauN and /dev/ttyuN.
tested these rc.conf statements
moused_port="/dev/cuau0"
moused_type="intellimouse"
moused_enable="YES"
serial mouse works again
This means sysinstall mouse config needs to be changed to reflect the
new dev names.
