From mount(8):

     In NetBSD, a file system can only be mounted by an ordinary user who owns
     the point node and has access to the special device (at least read per-
     missions).  In addition, the vfs.generic.usermount sysctl(3) must be set
     to 1 to permit file system mounting by ordinary users.  See also
     sysctl(8)
