This problem also occurs on my 5000/125.

The mouse is initialized in arch/pmax/tc/scc.c:scc_mouse_init().
If keyboard/framebuffer are used as console, it calls lk_mouseinit()
in arch/pmax/dev/lk201.c. But it uses sccPutc() to send command
to the mouse, and sccPutc() will never return if transmitter
is not ready.

I'm not sure what is the right fix. though.
