Did you make devices?  I'm pretty sure it should bomb before this if you
don't, but...

You might try 2 things:

1) Boot into single user mode and do the following:

cd /dev
./MAKEDEV

then exit and boot multi-user

2) Boot with a standard Apple Mouse (I'm sure this isn't the problem, but
some people do have trouble with them).

Later.
