From the 8.0 release notes is the following

[amd64, i386] The uart(4) is now the default driver for serial port devices in favor of the sio(4) driver. Note that the device nodes have been renamed with /dev/cuauN and /dev/ttyuN.

tested these rc.conf statements

moused_port="/dev/cuau0"
moused_type="intellimouse"
moused_enable="YES"

serial mouse works again

Can confirm.



This means sysinstall mouse config needs to be changed to reflect the new dev names.

That's correct. The handbook sec. 2.10.10 and fig. 2-44 would
need an update, too.
