I have done installs from the net (using only the minimal set of floppies to get started) in the past, and never had a problem of this type. /dev/mouse is usually a symlink to whatever device the mouse is really on. You can either create it yourself, or change your X configuration to point to the right device directly. What device that is depends on what kind of mouse you have and where you've plugged it in.
