Hmmm. I am using the kernel "GENERIC, v 1.531.2.10 2020./07/07
10:29:05" which does not have these options set.

Also the source code that I have does not have these options either. I
think I got the kernel source from
"ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-9.2/source/sets/";. As I did
get the release sources.

Would adding these options to the configuration work? Maybe the source
must be updated to the current or stable branch as well?
