It's pretty simple -- fdisk -B ... You'll be able to configure the
of each partition which contains a secondary bootloader ("chain", in
GRUB terms).
The NetBSD boot selector is in the first 512 byte portion of the disk,
and, depending on configuration/user input, selects a loader from one
of the 4 MBR partitions on the disk.
