It may seem silly, but it does have a purpose.  It makes sure that your
system won't pretend to be netbsd.org or some such through non-
configuration.  (Has the NetBSD Foundation or any of its contributors
been hit with a denial-of-service attack by having a new machine
accidentally impersonate it or do something else unwanted?)

It would be better, however, if the install program had a bunch of menus
that more or less filled out all of the stuff in rc.conf; i.e. DNS,
select services to run, NFS configuration, etc.  Enough to fill in rc.conf
interactively.

Maybe for 1.4 :-)
