After reading the previous post to mine, I see that I was incorrect about the use of moused_flags in /etc/rc.conf. As they noted, it should be moused_enable="YES" moused_port="/dev/psm0" moused_type="ps/2" However, I see in /etc/defaults/rc.conf that /dev/psm0 is the default, so you shouldn't need to specify that at all, assuming it's a ps/2, and moused_type defaults to "auto", which I have always found to work fine for ps/2 mice.
