Looks like the BIOS is correct in not exposing the ps/2 controller. Usually they just fail to expose the mouse when it needs a ps/2 splitter :-( I do wonder what they've connected it to though. It is extremely unlikely they've found an x86 chipset that doesn't have the ps/2 serial ports at the standard io addresses.
