, but not closely enough! Thanks for the hint!

Running '/usr/sbin/postinstall' on my amd64 build machine for updating
my i386 usb memory stick's NetBSD system w/o explicitly setting
MACHINE{,_ARCH} (e. g. via '-m', '-a' options) seems to be bad idea.
So I had unintendedly amd64's MAKEDEV in my i386's /dev.

I hope / am quite sure, that 'cd /dev && sh MAKEDEV all' w/ the
correct / _i386_'s MAKEDEV will cure my problem. (Will do/try that
tonight; otherwise I will speak up again).

Thanks you guys again, and sorry for the noise.

Markus.
