It's probably worth reading the i386 FAQ:
http://www.netbsd.org/Ports/i386/faq.html

As this gives some suggestions on setting up the bootloader.

For starting NetBSD on a second disk I've got the NetBSD bootmenu system, 
it's a bit strange, but you install it onto both the first and 2nd disk, then 
setup disk 1's entries as approptriate, and then setup disk 2's entries as 
appropriate, when disk 1 boots I get a menu:
F1: Windows
F2: Linux

if you then press F6 it runs the bootblocks on disk 2 (pressing F5-8 gives 
you disk 1-4 (wd0-wd3))  Which then lets you boot through to netbsd.

You can set your defaults up so that it automatically does this.

lilo will also work if you've got a linux partition handy.

Cheers,
