I've just installed NetBSD_1.0 and am trying to get the
mouse to work for X windows. I have a packard bell with
a ps/2 local-bus mouse. I've remade the kernel with
pms support and am now trying to access the node /dev/pms0.
Every time I access /dev/pms0, the system hangs. For
example:

	% cat < /dev/pms0

The above hangs the system. I've noticied that the 
IRQ is set at 5 for the pms driver. Does anyone have
any ideas if this is the correct value. Are there
any fixes to the pms driver out there?

Thanx in advance.
Todd
