I get the "zs1b: fifo overrun" too.  zs1b is the mouse, and the message
appears as soon as I touch the mouse.  It does not appear at all thereafter.

NetBSD is notoriously poor at serial I/O, but I think there's something
else here.  The mouse is no more than 9600 bps, which even NetBSD should
be able to handle.  Most likely something is not properly initialized
on zs1b at boot.
