Bob Nestor kindly told me that I need to uncomment the floppy support of 
"fd*", despite my drive being a Sony and therefore using "iwm0". Having 
done this, the kernel built without error.

Clearly this should not be the case, since one should be able to build a 
kernel without floppy support.

I have therefore submitted a PR on the matter, which may be read here: 
<http://www.NetBSD.org/cgi-bin/query-pr-single.pl?number=13531>

All the best.
