Are you sure you are really using GENERIC?
I guess install.md script install INSTALL kernel (which is in miniroot)
to your disk, not GENERIC by default.
You can check GENERIC kernel binary by nm(1) if it contains
any "sunos" symbols, and ktrace(1) also may help to check
how the binary fails.

Hi Izumi:
Good thinking. I don't know if the kernel that was left in /netbsd after
the install was the INSTALL kernel or the GENERIC kernel. Everything worked
other than running SunOS executables.
The /netbsd kernel did NOT have any "sunos" symbols shown by nm, but
rebuilding the kernel showed them (and COMPAT_SUNOS worked).
I'm new to NetBSD; let me know if there's anything I can check or do here
with my disk image.
thanks,
arthur
