/etc/rc.d/motd looks for a string on the first line of /etc/motd that
begins with the text "NetBSD".  it removes it and replaces it with the
netbsd banner of the current system.  since your /etc/motd doesn't
contain that string, it doesn't get removed, but the replacement (the
current system banner) still gets added.

choose one of:

(1) fix /etc/rc.d/motd to look for, remove, and replace your banner.
(2) disable automatic updating of the motd by putting

	update_motd=3DNO

in your rc.conf file.
