It didn't work. Actually I have a little more than a USB mouse, I have a
wireless mouse and wireless keyboard which are both controlled by a
central
unit which plugs into an USB port in the computer. The keyboard works
well,
with the option of booting with an USB keyboard, but I cannot make the
mouse
work. Any suggestions?
Teilhard.

load the ums module by typing these command. you need to be root though.
# kldload ums
# moused -p /dev/ums0 -t auto
then see if the mouse daemon is running using top or ps.

if this does not work you may have to rebuild yoru kernel with the
following options
device ohci
device ums

Thanks. Upon issuing the command:
# kldload ums,
I get:
'kldload: can't load ums: file exists'.
But if I go to /dev, ums is not present. Are you sure kldload is the right
command?
Teilhard.
