Keyboard mice, also known as PS/2 mice (including wheel mice), connect to a dedicated port at the back of your computer. They usually use 6-pin or 9-pin mini-DIN connectors. Check your manual to find the port to which the mouse should be connected.
When installing a mouse using mkdev mouse, choose the keyboard mouse option only if you have a machine and mouse capable of using this port. On some AT-type machines that do not have a keyboard mouse port, installing a keyboard mouse driver causes the keyboard to lock up after booting. If this happens, boot the previous kernel (unix.old) and remove the keyboard mouse driver from the system using the remove option of mkdev mouse.
