What is listed in /etc/X11/xdm/Xserver? It should end with a line stating
which vt X is going to use. This vt should correspond to the tty you have set
up in /etc/ttys to run xdm.
ttyE7 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" vt220 off secure
Here is the corresponding portion of /etc/X11/xdm/Xserver
:0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X vt08
Notice that the numbers are off-by-one. I'm thinking that getty is logging
you in on the same tty xdm is trying to log you in on.

p.s. You may have something other than ttyE[1-9], I'm using NetBSD 1.5.2.
