I'm sure the BIOS boots from your primary disk .... your DOS/Win disk.
Your install of NetBSD to the second drive got the second disk ready to
boot, but the BIOS just ignores it AND you didn't do anything to the 
boot program on your primary disk.

I use booteasy in this situation.  (booteasy replaces the Master Boot
Record on your primary disk.)  It is a boot selector that allows you
select which OS to boot. 

(I don't have any experience in this, but I had someone tell me they
had problems with os-bs dealing with a secondary disk.)
