Re: port-i386/51403: NetBSD doesn't recognize my ps/2 mouse

[Michael <beriah%opensuse.us@localhost>]

Ok, I can look. FWIW, I unplugged the ps/2 mouse and tried an usb
mouse. It worked fine.
Also, and I'll follow-up on another email, but tried installing 7.0.1
on another K8 system and it wouldn't boot, because it didn't recognize
the cd player :(

I'll get back as soon as I can try switching those off in bios.

Thanks :)
Mike
