You also forgot to mention that this only works with 3 button mice,
since the newly booted FreeBSD will expect a 3 button for proper X
usage.  He will have to click twice with the middle mouse button, *not*
the left one.  Some Win95 mouse drivers will attempt to steal this
button away for other uses _do not let them!_
