This looks suspiciously like a problem we had during the 1.0A
installation. Please look at the MACHINE line in your
/etc/athena/rc.conf file. If it says NetBSD-I386, change it to
NetBSD. (See /etc/athena/reactivate for an explanation, where it's
cleaning up the /tmp directory.)
Did you install NetBSD 1.0A or NetBSD 1.1? This problem shouldn't be
occurring in the 1.1 installation.
