If the device doesn't exit, you need to create it. One way is:

mkdir /dev/input
/bin/mknod /dev/input/mice c 13 63

The device should be owned by root.root with mode 0660.

An alternative way, since you are booting a 2.4.20 kernel, is to mount
devfs on /dev. For more info, see
http://www.atnf.csiro.au/people/rgooch/linux/docs/devfs.html 
 
If your mouse has a wheel that also functions as a third button, you
do not need Emulate3Buttons option. If your mouse does not have a
wheel, you probably need to use the PS/2 protocol and not need
ZAxisMapping option.
