I think you want to check out all of the section 9 docs.
http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/src/share/man/man9/
The manpage search at http://www.netbsd.org/Misc/search.html doesn't work
for me right now...
You may find other interesting documentatio at
http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/, e.g.
http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/kernel/programming.html,
http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/kernel/ and
http://www.unixag-kl.fh-kl.de/~jkunz/projekte/NetBSD-driver_writing-1.0.1e.pdf.gz
