Those come from mach_init

Those come from kern_loader

[Half of those messages you didn't transcribe accurately!
 Please, if you're including stuff like error messages in problem
 reports, having the *exact* text is most helpful.]

They're perfectly normal--however, most users never see them
because nearly all are syslogged as daemon.info and NeXT's
standard /etc/syslog.conf discards anything below daemon.notice.
[N.B. since you didn't mention which OS version you have, so I'm
answering this for 2.1.]

Completely unrelated.

You'll have to furnish more information about your setup; there
isn't enough to go on (are you running a nameserver locally or
using someone else's?  Are you on the far end of a SLIP/CSLIP/PPP
link?  etc.).
