An examination of the man page for 'mount', which reads
In NetBSD, a file system can only be mounted by an ordinary user who owns
the point node and has access to the special device (at least read per-
missions). In addition, the vfs.generic.usermount sysctl(3) must be set
to 1 to permit file system mounting by ordinary users. See also
sysctl(8).
