RE: Bdi and serial mouse

Sounds to me like the installation is thinking you have a PS-2 mouse or some
mouse other than what you really have.  I have seen this when trying to
convince it that I have a PS-2 mouse but actually had a serial mouse
attached.  I was trying to make it think I had a PS-2 mouse because that is
what I wanted to use when I installed the drive in the proper computer, not
the one that I was doing the installation on.
