That's what I'd call a warning level or even info level error message.
The card still works after that, right?  Anyway, it's usually caused by
MacOS initializing the card before NetBSD takes over.

Ick.  You should always use shutdown to shut the machine down.  For a
halt, use "shutdown -h now", for a reboot, use "shutdown -r now".  They're
the same under many OSes, e.g. linux, but IIRC, not under NetBSD.
