I have a similar setup.  It seems that the NetBSD bootloader is currently
not capable of booting NetBSD from another disk than the bootdisk.
I had to resort to using GRUB.  It's in pkgsrc, so you don't need to
leave Linux installed to use GRUB.

My /grub/menu.lst looks like this:

-----
# For booting Windows NT or Windows95
title Windows
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader  +1

# For booting NetBSD
title  NetBSD
root   (hd1,3,a)
chainloader +1

Good luck,
