I just switched from a MS bus mouse to a serial mouse, so this is
fresh in my mind. Recompile your kernel and do not select any mouse.
Delete any existing links to /dev/mouse, and link instead to /dev/ttyS1 or
whatever serial port you will be using. (You might be able to get away
without recompiling, but I did so to be safe). You will also need to
reconfigure X, gpm, dosemu, etc.
