I've recently deployed NetBSD-10.1 guest with Bhyve and don't remember
seeing such errors. How are you booting this VM? I'm using UEFI loader
for all my VMs:

# cat > /vm-bhyve/.templates/netbsd.conf << 'EOF'
loader="uefi"
graphics="yes"
xhci_mouse="yes"
cpu=8
memory=8G
network0_type="virtio-net"
network0_switch="public"
disk0_type="nvme"
disk0_name="disk0.img"
disk0_dev="file"
EOF
