First, thanks to everyone who answered my last question about SLIP! I'm in
good shape now as far as that goes.

Here's another question: I have a PS/2 style bus mouse on my machine, and
I'm having a hard time getting the kernel to recognize it at boot. I've
added the ALLOW_CONFLICT_IOADDR option in the config file, and the psm0
entry is after the sc0 entry as prescribed in the docs. I rebuild and
install, and when I reboot, I'm told that "psm0 not probed due to IO port
conflict" (or something close to that). What am I doing wrong?

Also, a silly question: I hate the fat cursor that is the default.
Commenting out the FAT_CURSOR option (or whatever it is...I'm posting from
another machine) doesn't make it go away. Any ideas?

Thanks!
