Have you tried booting with just the TurboMouse and the keyboard?  It may
be that the kernel is running out of memory in part of the ADB routines
because you have too many ADB devices connected.

As far as getting the Turbomouse to work, do you know whether or not it
supports extended mouse protocol?  Even if it doesn't, it'll probably only
require trivial changes to the kernel to get it to work.

Later.
