You did not answer the question about whether you were booting from a modern install CD or your old install CD, so I am forced to assume a modern one.

The error means it can't find the hard drive and/or cdrom. This is with very few exceptions hard drive controller driver related, and certainly not a mouse problem.

You probably need to tell the CD to load relevant drivers as I mentioned earlier. See what options the cd has for boot and look for alternate kernels or instructions which tell it to load libata.

JMIDE(4)						   BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual 						  JMIDE(4)

NAME

     jmide -- JMicron Technology JMB36x PCIe to SATA II/PATA controller driver

SYNOPSIS

     jmide* at pci? dev ? function ? flags 0x0000
     ahcisata* at jmide?

DESCRIPTION

     The jmide driver supports the JMicron Technology JMB36x IDE controllers.

     These PCI-e controllers exist in different flavors (1 or 2 PATA Ultra/133 ports and/or 1 or 2 SATA-II ports), and are highly flexible.  The
     SATA ports can be attached to the integrated AHCI controller or attached to the PCI IDE channels in PATA emulation, in either single-drive
     emulation on each PCI IDE channels, or in master/slave emulation on one of the PCI IDE channels.

     When enabled, the AHCI controller can either be on the PCI function 0 or function 2.  The PCI IDE controller can also be on either PCI func-
     tion, and can share the PCI function with AHCI.  The jmide driver supports both the AHCI controller and PCI IDE controller in various config-
     urations.

SEE ALSO

     ahcisata(4), ata(4), atapi(4), intro(4), pci(4), pciide(4), wd(4), wdc(4)

AUTHORS

     The jmide driver was written by Manuel Bouyer.
