Hi,

I solved the issue. There were no errors. I set moused_port="/dev/ums0" 
in rc.conf. Sorry for the noise. This is my first PC-BSD install, I do 
not recall being asked if I was using a usb mouse. I am coming from and 
OpenBSD and OpenSolaris background and didn't grok /etc/default/rc.conf. 
Once I looked inside it was obvious what to do.

I do appreciate your attention and support,
Barry
