You might find more luck using VirtualBox under FreeBSD to run NetBSD
https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/virtualization-host-virtualbox.html

If you are willing to try digging into bhyve a little more you are
likely to find people willing to help both on the NetBSD and FreeBSD
lists (particularly if you treat it as an opportunity to learn along
the way and not get frustrated if it doesn't work out in the end :)

I would also try booting a current NetBSD install image to see if it
shows the same issue (can download from
http://nycdn.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-daily/HEAD/ )
