 If it's ps/2 type mouse You should probably use /dev/psaux (you might need to
compile support for this in kernel). /dev/mouse in normal circumstances is a
symlink to correct /dev entry (in my case /dev/mouse points to /dev/ttyS0)
issue:
cd /dev
rm mouse
ln -s psauxx mosue
 And try to boot X

 Good luck!
