I have installed 14.1-RELEASE in VMware Workstation 17. I'm determined not to get frustrated this time. I am going to hold off installing X11 for as long as it takes to get comfortable with the terminal and learn how things work. The issue I have at the moment is that my mouse doesn't work in the console (like for copying and pasting in an editor). I've searched the Handbook, and other sources.
"/etc/rc.d/moused start" reports that it's already running. (In my ignorance I don't know where that gets started.)
I read that these lines should be in my /etc/rc.conf :
moused_port="dev/psm0"
moused_type="auto"
moused_enable-"YES"
... but that did not fix it.
The FreeBSD Handbook is a fantastic resource, but it didn't help with this (or I missed it). So I installed and looked at the configurations in GhostBSD (just looking for clues), but I didn't find answers there either, because things are too different. But I confirmed that the mouse works in the terminal on Ghost, in an identical VMware setup.
What should be my next step?
