This can happen if you have a kernel named /netbsd, but boot a
different kernel. Anything that uses kvm will break in this case; but
LKMs are especially susceptible.
i thought this really depends on what kvm_mkdb was run against. i've
often thought it would be Cool if /etc/rc was passed the pathname of
the kernel that was running. we could make kvm_mkdb use this.
