I need a little help.

I'm in the process of setting up an experimental FreeBSD 2.0.5 box.  I can't get XF86v311 to work 
with my PS/2 mouse.  The server crashes with a message to the effect that it can't find a mouse 
definition in /dev. (I've set up XF86311 to use the PS/2 mouse definition and /dev/mouse -- What 
am I doing wrong?)  Any help would be appreciated.

System specs:
CPU - Intel Classic R (486 DX2/66, 8Mb RAM, integrated serial, parallel and mouse ports, floppy and 
IDE (IDE disabled) controllers and VGA (Cirrus Logic GL-5424))
Network Card - LinkSys Ether16 (NE2000 comaptible - I/O 300, IRQ 5)
SCSI Controller - Adaptec AVA-1515 (I/O 340, IRQ 11) connected to 2 Maxtor 7345 (SCSI 0 and 1) 
drives and 1 Sony CDU-76 CD-ROM (SCSI 6).
