Hello,
O.K., so further digging has come up with this:
I think the problem is that NetBSD is not detecting the PS/2 mouse port. I used another mouse via USB and it worked. If I plug it in to the PS/2 port, it doesn't. Nor does dmesg reveal any information at all about a mouse. So why don't I just use the USB mouse all the time - because if I try to boot with it plugged in the USB port I get this boot time panic:
Code:
panic: ohci_softintr: addr 0x000dld70
stopped at netbsd:cpu_Debugger+0x4: popl %ebp
So, I have two errors, I can't detect the PS/2 port and I can't boot with a USB mouse. I would like to get to the bottom of both of them, first and foremost - and hopefully easiest - detecting the PS/2 port.
