I apologize if this posting already went out, I can find no evidence of
success (based on several search engines). Let me know if you did see it.
I have a FreeBSD/Pentium PC that I'm setting up. The PS2 style mouse
was working when I installed on an IDE disk, but after upgrading to
Fast/Wide 2GB SCSI Adaptec 209N controller (I know this *should* have
nothing to do with it), FreeBSD windows no longer work (/dev/psm0
not recognized). I have customized the kernel very carefully, read the book,
I have done cd /dev; MAKEDEV psm0 numerous times, I have tested the
mouse under DOS it works. When I do a boot -c I can see the problem,
while the IRQs are different the "ports" are the same for psm0 and
"syscons" (the console) sc0, both 0x60. I'm not familiar with this use
of the term ports. What is my next step to make this work?
David
