In addition to requiring the device node, /dev/nit, you have to make sure
your kernel has the NIT driver support in it.  Here's what it looks like in
the GENERIC configuration file for SunOS 4.1.1 (/sys/sun4c/conf/GENERIC):

#
# The following are for streams NIT support.  NIT is used by
# etherfind, traffic, rarpd, and ndbootd.  As a rule of thumb,
# NIT is almost always needed on a server and almost never
# needed on a diskless client.
#
pseudo-device   snit            # streams NIT
pseudo-device   pf              # packet filter
pseudo-device   nbuf            # NIT buffering module

#
# The following is for the "clone" device, used with streams devices.
# This is required if you include streams NIT support, RFS, or an audio
# device.
#
pseudo-device   clone           # clone device

If your kernel configuration doesn't have these pseudo-devices included, add
them, rebuild (config and make) your kernel, and reboot.  Hope this helps.
