That's the new DevFS -- /dev is created on-the-fly. Symlinks are
not preserved between boots. I just had my first experiences with
it too (see http://www.zepa.net/hypermail/elug/2001/03/0164.html).
The best way to fix it is to use the actual device in GPM and X.
E.g.:
$ cat /etc/sysconfig/gpm
# Additional options for gpm (e.g. acceleration)
OPTIONS="-m /dev/psaux"
$ cat /etc/X11/XFree86-4
...
Driver "mouse"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"

Was the disk from a SGI Irix system?
The pre-release kernels don't have the partition support for SGI
disk labels compiled in by default.
