Those commands will obviously fail if /dev/mouse does not exist, add
--create to the command line of settrans, so:
settrans -c /dev/mouse /hurd/mouse --protocol=ps/2
or
settrans -c /dev/mouse /hurd/mouse --protocol=ps/2
That should read:
settrans -c /dev/mouse /hurd/mouse --d
The documentation assumes /dev/mouse
/dev/mouse does not exist.
"MAKEDEV mouse" fails with "mouse: Unkown device name"
Thats because MAKEDEV hasn't been hacked to support the creation of
/dev/mouse.
