#   returns:  /lib/modules/2.0.36/misc/psaux.o
#
#The modconf menu shows the PS/2 module installed, too.
#
#The XF86Config file has the protocol set to "PS/2", and the device set
#to "/dev/mouse".  /dev/mouse is a link to ttyS0.

of course, /dev/psaux is the real mouse not ttyS0, which is the serial
mouse at COM1. do the following and you shall be happy.

root#	cd /dev && ln -sf psaux mouse

If you still have problem, check if the your ps/2 mouse is really there
supported by the kernel. 
root#	dmesg|grep psaux
