By the look of things, you have installed NetBSD, but installed an INSTALL
rather than GENERIC kernel. I'm not sure how you managed that...
Did you grab the sets over the network?
Booting from floppies, ctrl-C for a prompt,

fsck /dev/wd0a
mount /dev/wd0a /mnt
cd /mnt/dev
sh MAKEDEV all

might help too..

Cheers,
