Subject: Machy Mouse in NetBSD port-i386

Hi!
X won't start until the mouse is configured.
Any tips?

Itallation was done via CDROM, which tells
me  a Mach64 Xserver for my ATi card
has been set (I found the Horizontal and
Vertical refresh rates) with a generic
serial mouse at COM2. I've read the
notes in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/README.mouse
and README.Mach64, but I'm not sure
how to "configure" the /dev/mouse for
port-i386 of NetBSD-1.3.2.

PnP is untested for serial "Auto". The notes
say something about using the /dev/pms device
to emulate the "BusMouse" protocol
for any PS/2 mouse regardless of the
brand of the mouse.

My other NetBSD-1.3.2 box is on port-mac68k
which uses adb, and my Debian GNU/Linux is
using something similar as it is on the same hardware.

If relief is spelled "c u s t o m   k e r n a l", is there
any tips for that?

Ay help is appreciated!
