Ok, good, /env is mounted (login does this). "cd /env ; ls" shows what?

This is suspicious.

>/vsta/etc/rc: cannot create /env/TERM: directory nonexistent

Here's the heart of the matter. Why isn't /env available?

There seems to be a sequencing mistake here. First, remove that mount
of NAMER; it doesn't need to be in your pathname space, and it serializes
things in a funny way, I think. Second, focus on making "rc" happy such
that it can create your TERM node in /env. Without a default environment
you'll see petty hassles like no terminal type (unless you set it yourself).
