During the Mouse Configuration step, I configured my mouse as a Microsoft Intellimouse (PS/2). When the system was first brought up into run level 5, there was no mouse point. I had to drop the system into run level 3, edit the /etc/X11/XF86Config file and change the protocol from "PS/2" to "imps/2". Then the mouse worked.
