I believe it's an X11 option to allow startup without a mouse.
I hope he was not advised to plug the mouse in while the machine was on.
It is seriously inadvisable to plug in PS/2 connectors (mouse and
k/board) when a system is turned on already. Could damage the
motherboard.
This is the option to use in XF86Config to ignore a missing mouse:
Section "ServerFlags"
# This allows the server to start up even if the
# mouse device can't be opened/initialised.
AllowMouseOpenFail
EndSection
