The easiest way to boot both is to use GRUB.

You can install it from Debian (just run apt-get install grub) or from
NetBSD using my package (built for -current) at
gopher://gopher.quux.org/11/devel/netbsd/packages

You will not need any other bootloader in this case.  You can chain to
the NetBSD partition or have GRUB load the kernel directly (it
understands BSD disklabel and ffs).

GRUB is also far better than LILO for booting Linux.
