Question:
Is the kernel you are running named /netbsd?

The reason I ask is that if you have a kernel named /netbsd and you
have set up the booter to boot off of (for example) /GENERIC55 or you
use a kernel image that is in MacOS, then identd will NOT work.
identd (as well as a few other things) depend on certain kernel structures
which it picks up from /netbsd. So if /netbsd is not the kernel that is
actually running, these structures are "mis-matched" and you have problems.

If this is your problem, simply make sure that the booted kernel is
named /netbsd.
