Do you have "options LKM" turned on in your kernel config file? That's
about all I can think of right now.....although the error you're getting
seems to indicate that the permissions on some file aren't correct. My
video LKM is 755. Oh, is your kernel named "/netbsd"? That might also
cause problems.
I hope this helps.
Later.
