Both work for me with Grub with MULTIBOOT defined in the kernel:


# NetBSD CURRENT
title           NetBSD CURRENT
root            (hd0,3,a)
kernel          (hd0,3,a)/netbsd bootdev=wd0a

# Chain load NetBSD kernel
title          NetBSD - 
Chainloader                                                                                                                                                                                         

rootnoverify   
(hd0,3,a)                                                                                                                                                                                                    

chainloader    
+1
