due to power cut , i lost my rc.conf (by way i forget to fsck my sys :D before i start it again ) ,so i start a new one with this :
hald_enable="YES"
dbus_enable="YES"
moused_enable="YES"
moused_port="/dev/psm0"
moused_type="auto"
after reboot sys i found my mouse does not move ,investing process i found hald does not start even i start it manually !

No need to fsck manually. Automatic fsck starts after 60 seconds.
Is the mouse not moving under the shell or under X/GNOME?
Try removing (or commenting out) moused entries.
How are you starting HALd manually (what command)?
Is it giving you any error?
Try forcestarting it instead.

It's supposed to be /usr/local/etc/rc.d/hald start. Scripts for ports are put in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/.
