Hmmmm...did you get any errors while doing the install?

Is your /usr partition on the same drive as the rest of your NetBSD
partitions?  Are these all on the SyJet?  If so, that might be your
problem.  There have been some difficulties with removable media
(e.g. occasional disk errors).  If not, then you might have a corrupted
filesystem, or else the install might have corrupted the binaries.  Have
you tried to run 'fsck' on your /usr partition?  You might consider a
reinstall of the base.tgz set; this might fix the problem.  Laying out
your partitions in a different order might help as well (like having your
/usr partition after your root and the /home partition at the end).

Hopefully, some of the above will help.

Later.
