Note it is using *OpenBSD*, not *NetBSD* as you wrote, but this is just oversight I think. For FreeBSD, you should probably try first running from microSD card, not installing to internal eMMC (SD card image for arm64/aarch64 architecture should be a good start, needs just adding correct U-Boot binary).
