Indeed, there are these two lines in dmesg out there:
pms0 at pckbc1 (aux slot)
pckbc1: using irq 0 for aux slot
wsmouse0 at pms0 mux 0

I just read the pms and wsmouse man pges, but still do not know, what
should I do to set up this PS/2 mouse?

But hey! I suddenly realized that, that the mouse works on my consoles!?

It is probably because I added this line to the /etc/rc.conf file:
moused_enable=YES

or it is not the reason? It is not, because if I comment this line out
with the '#' character, and reboot, then still don't have the mouse
pointer on console.

I realize that, that I must to run this command, to have it:
wsmoused -d /dev/wsmouse

After this command I have the mouse pointer if I move the mouse around.

How can I set up this to get it started when booting the system?

I do not have yet X Window system installed, because I want first to
set up consoles.
