I think this is what's happening here: * kernel starts * usb stack loads, finds a USB mouse, attaches it to ums0 * attachment tells devd "hey, theres a /dev/ums0 device that just attached" * /etc/devd.conf automatically spawns moused, which attaches to the /dev/ums0 device * rc scripts begin * moused_enable="yes" is detected, thus moused is run manually against /dev/ums0 * moused is already running from when devd spawned it, which is why /dev/ums0 is "Device busy" I would recommend removing the moused_* stuff in your rc.conf and let devd take care of it, or, consider editing /etc/devd.conf and removing the /dev/umsX detection which runs moused. -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
