   | When using this CD, ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-8.0/amd64/installation/cdrom/boot.iso
   | and the shell in the utility menu, the mouse keeps reattaching itself. 
 
 I have seen this too, but not from the boot CD, just on a regular running
 kernel, with a USB wireless mouse/keyboard dongle.   As long as the
 mouse is powered on, and nothing has the device open, it detaches
 and reattaches like that (or did, I just replaced that mouse/keyboard a
 couple of days ago - not because of this, but because the keyboard was
 starting to develop "sticky keys") - I don't know yet if the new one acts
 the same (normally I boot it, and have X started quickly enough that
 this doesn't happen.)
 
 It is really no more than a nuisance - the mouse still works fine.   It is
 just spam on the console and in syslog (which is why I never attempted
 to discover whether it was something the mouse was doing, or the kernel.)
 
 That system is currently running 8.99.1 (ie: just after -8 was branched) but
 I have observed this since it was installed in the 7.99.29 timeframe (May 
 2016).
