You should mail bug reports to netbsd-bugs@sun-lamp.cs.berkeley.edu.
You will get a more complete response.

1) The default netstart file has a line : route add $hostname localhost.
The hostname is read from myname (which is setup during installation)
and is in the form hostname.domainname, so the command fails. I have
replaced it with - route add `hostname -s localhost'
It fails if it can't resolve the name for some reason, yes.
4) This is not a strictly name resolution problem: the ICMP responses are
funny, whenever i ping any other machine (wherever), i get a lot of
duplicate ICMP packets.
Are you using the ne driver? Try if_ed.c from the NetBSD-current
source on sun-lamp. (NetBSD-current/src/sys/arch/i386/isa/if_ed.c)
