The full release notes at http://www.freebsd.org/releases/8.0R/relnotes-detailed.html say the following
[amd64, i386] The uart(4) is now the default driver for serial port devices in favor of the sio(4) driver. Note that the device nodes have been renamed with /dev/cuauN and /dev/ttyuN.
The sysinstall menu that configures the mouse has not been changed to reflect the new device names created by this change.
Maybe the /dev/ttyuN also needs updating somewhere in sysinstall also.
>How-To-Repeat:
plug in a serial mouse and use sysinstall to post statements in rc.conf. mouse will not work
>Fix:
make change to sysinstall mouse configure menu
