  Forgive me if this is really obvious and you've tried it already, but 
you *do have* a copy of your boot kernel as /netbsd don't you?

  If you don't then you'll get an error like the one you mention when 
/etc/rc tries to build the databases  (Extract from /etc/rc

# build ps databases
echo 'building databases...'
kvm_mkdb /netbsd
dev_mkdb


  Hope I've been helppul!

Ale.
