If you have a touchpad, /dev/psm0 should be present.  Check if the node exists
in /dev, otherwise check dmesg.  If all these fail, this isn't a problem we
can't help on.  Either grab a USB mouse or report this problem to upstream.
(or google for some info on your specific hardware and why it isn't supported by
kFreeBSD).

This shouldn't happen unless you had mdetect installed.  Did you?

And keymaps?
