Okay, someone told me to use tty00 for the mouse, so now it is
recognized by the configuration script.  Also, I found that the
script died in the "twiddle" option because I had said yes to
three button emulation (X didn't seem to like the option).

However, now I can do a startx/X/xinit okay, but then the mouse
does not actually do anything.  Is there some option I need to
add to my kernel, or some daemon I need to start to get the
mouse to work?

My system is:
AMD 486dx2/66, ISA motherboard
8 MB RAM
wd0 (DOS/Win)
sd0 (DOS, WinNT, FreeBSD 1.1R)
KFC 17" SVGA
Mouse Systems OmniMouse II (2-button, MicroSloth compatible)

Thanks,
   -bkc
