Cannot run X - missing /dev/mouse

["Andrew Pierce" <amp@foomonkey.com>]

I am having trouble running X. I just installed Woody r1 and I do not have
a /dev/mouse which is what X is looking for.

I do not understand why /dev/mouse is missing and how I should go about
creating it.

BTW, I have a Microsoft Wheel Mouse, P2/2 interface.

Thanks in advance.
