physically installed the netbsd drive as drive 0. Install netbsd.
When it's done, copy /etc/fstab to /etc/fstab.wd0, and change the
references in /etc/fstab from wd0 to wd1. Swap drives again, use a
boot manager such as booteasy (old versions of os-bs couldn't handle
multiple drives, and the new version wrote over my netbsd disklabel
so I've given it a miss) and install it on drive 0 only. THat way,
you hit F5 to swap to the netbsd bootloader.

This is what I did to install netbsd on drive 0. (Actually, I took the
HD to work and ftp-installed it, then took it home, but the
principle's the same :)
