You need to add a menu entries by editing the partition data with
netbsd's fdisk.  Then you'll get a line "1: Netbsd" (or whatever you
put for the menu text for the partition) below the "Fn: Diskn" text.

You'll then see that F2 is reading the bootselect code of the second disk.
In fact you probaly only want the bootselect code on the first disk.

mbr(8) and fdisk(8) might be enlightening.
