Please also try "./MAKEDEV -s std".  It should print something like
this:

. type=dir optional
./console type=char device=netbsd,0,0 mode=600 gid=0 uid=0
./constty type=char device=netbsd,0,1 mode=600 gid=0 uid=0
[...]

I suspect that there's something wrong with chmod(3), or some 
string parsing associated with modes in mknod(8) or mtree(8).
