How are you running Wary before trying to install?
What are you using to do the frugal install? What program?
Your computer specs would help?
You do what, you see what, would help.

iamhealed,
Were you doing a frugal installation manually? I am wondering if you put your startup files into different partitions and/or directories by mistake, thus causing Puppy to mess up because it doesn't know where to access the files it needs to complete the installation? Can you check the location of your startup files?
I am wondering if your issue is really a bug or not. Can you reproduce this scenario? Have you tried to re-install?

for problems with usb keyboard&mouse probably read here >
(Solved) USB keyboard fails first boot after full install
in Your case
/lib/modules/`uname -r`/
kernel/drivers/input/mouse/psmouse.ko
kernel/drivers/hid/hid.ko
might not been loaded automatically
due to missing demod[-FULL]
or not installing the kernel drivers from the initrd.gz correctly .

hello
i really don't know much about frugal installation..
but i was successful in installing the latest version of lupu 528 with the same steps i did in installing wary..
here's what i did,
1. downloaded the iso and check its integrity
2. extracted iso using winzip to c:/
3. downloaded grub4 dos and extracted the grdlr and mnulst file to c:/
inside the menu.list
title Puppy Linux
kernel (hd0,1)/vmlinuz root=/dev/ram0 pmedia=idecd
initrd (hd0,1)/initrd.gz
i dont know if its a bug but i was not able to install it.

Download the Puppy iso file.
Use a burner program to burn the iso image to a CD or DVD.
Boot with the live Puppy CD/DVD you just made.
In Puppy, use the Puppy universal Installer to do the install.
This info will help you.

iamhealed,
I agree with bigpup. Follow his directions.
A useful program for Windows XP and Vista re: burning iso files to disc is Alex Feinman's ISO Recorder whereas Windows 7 has this function built in to the operating system. Since you mentioned Winzip, I assume that you run one of those systems.
In the event that this suggestion works for you, please mark this topic as "solved" and I would also recommend that this thread be moved to the Beginners Help section since this issue would not be classified as a bug.
cheers,
Monsie

From your menu.lst it appears that puppy is expecting the pertinent files to be located on a compact disc when in fact you have already extracted the iso to the hard drive, hence the problem.kernel (hd0,1)/vmlinuz root=/dev/ram0 pmedia=idecd
