Yes.

Some time ago the major device numbers where rearranged. Maybe you got
bitten by major device numbers not fitting to your kernel. I sugest to
boot from some -current install media (put netbsd.INSTALL from -current
into / and boot it) that runs inside a kernel attached RAM disk. Leave
to a single user shell, mount the / slice on the disk, move the old dev
directory out of the way, mkdir a new dev directory, copy MAKEDEV and
MAKEDEV.local to it and run "./MAKEDEV all".
