The installer was run in a VM, so presumably that's how screenshots were taken.

I am guessing what he meant was rather "the support of NetBSD (as a guest OS) by the hypervisor Bhyve", because Bhyve is an hypervisor running on FreeBSD. Given the other posts on the blog, it would not be surprising if the author was daily driving FreeBSD while doing this experiment, and Bhyve is well maintained and probably the best fit in the BSD world for this. I don't even know if OpenBSD's vmm can virtualize something else than OpenBSD.
From https://wiki.freebsd.org/bhyve :
> Q: What VM operating systems does bhyve support?
> A: bhyve supports any version of FreeBSD i386/amd64. OpenBSD, NetBSD, illumos and GNU/Linux are supported using the UEFI and the sysutils/grub2-bhyve port.
