Uhhh ... shame on me.
Does it harm in any respect if I leave the bootselector on wd1, or do
I have to remove it for some reason?

That's what I did now and it seemed to work. The bootselector is now
installed on wd0.
When I boot now, The bootmenu appears:
F1 WinNT
F2 NetBSD
When I press F1 (or no entry, defualt set to F1 with timout 5
seconds), WinNT starts. When I press F2, nothing happens. I have to
reboot.
What goes wrong here?

Don't know what you mean here.
Where shall I use F5 (or F6) to access the second disk?
