Can any one help me find out how to connect my built-in touch pad?
It is connected to COM 1 irq 4. When I boot up, sio0 is found as irq 4 OK, 
but I can not tell what device it is configured to. I also get psm0 disabled, 
not probed.

In Windows, the control panel mouse icon says that it is a standard PS/2
mouse. In the BIOS setup, there is an entry Glidepath (enabled/disabled). 
Disabling it allows one to connect a keyboard, etc to a PS/2 jack.

In FreeBSD, I have looked at /dev/cuaa0 and /dev/mouse, but can get no 
response from either one.
