You've got something funny in you BIOS setup.

The bios normally boots by reading sector 0 of the first disk (bios disk
0x80 in bios calls) and executing that code.  Pressing F5 on the 1.6
netbsd bootselect code would have done the same thing, F6 would have
read sector 0 of disk 0x81 etc (F1 and F2 do the same with the netbsd 2.0
bootsel code).

However you've said that pressing F5 caused windows to boot - which makes
it look like the bootselect code had been read from somewhere else.
Have you set an unusual boot order? or disabled one of the disks?
