+	  if you've no experience with building kernels.

+	  Once you have a kernel detecting psm0 correctly at boot time,
+	  make sure that an entry for psm0 exists in /dev.  You can do this
+	  by typing:
+<verb>
+	cd /dev; sh MAKEDEV psm0
+</verb>
+	  When logged in as root.
+	<p>
+	  <strong>Note: </strong> Some PS/2 mouse controllers have a problem
+	  where the presence of the psm0 driver will cause the keyboard to
+	  lock up (which is why this driver is not present by default in the
+	  GENERIC kernel).  This can sometimes be fixed by bouncing the
+	  <strong>NumLock</strong> key during the boot process.  The real
+	  fix is, of course, to merge the PS/2 mouse driver with syscons.
+	  Any volunteers? :)
