IMHO, the best option actually is GRUB. The NetBSD bootloader (AFAIK)
won't boot Linux (it can boot any other BSD or Windows).

I'm using the following configuration on my box:

default 1
timeout 20

title NetBSD/Xen
root (hd0,1,a)
kernel /grub/xen-2.0.7.gz dom0_mem=393216
module /grub/xenkern console=pc

title NetBSD
root (hd0,1,a)
chainloader +1

title Windows XP
root (hd0,0)
chainloader +1

This file will bot NetBSD/Xen, NetBSD/i386 and Windows XP.
