Hmm. I'm sure I tried it out on a NetBSD system before releasing it.

No, you don't need to do that copy.
Ah! The problem would appear to be that it has determined your OS type
to be "netbsd", when what it expects is "NetBSD". Run the command
scripts/os-type
and see what it outputs. If I've guessed right, edit that script and do
the same thing as was done for "openbsd" - find the line starting
"openbsd" and add a similar thing. If it works, let me know so I can
upgrade the distribution for the benefit of the next newbie...
You must be running some shell that is setting this value, I suspect. I
wish, oh, how I wish, there were a *standard* way of finding out the OS
name, and a *standard* set of names!!!!
