The symbol redefined messages means that the lkm is trying to define a
symbol that already exists in the kernel.  modload uses ld to "pre-link"
the lkm with the kernel symbol table (apparently from file /netbsd, rather
than from the symbol table that was preserved during boot).

Either the lkm is being loaded twice, or you're trying to modload it when
you're booted from some kernel other than /netbsd or your kernel already
contains one or more of those symbols already.
