Boot into netbsd.
login (or su) to root.
# fdisk wd1
<details of your netbsd disk>
# fdisk wd0
<details of your M$ disk>
# fdisk -B wd0
Answer 'y' to the relevant questions (I don't know which ones you
actually see!)
You will get asked:

    Current boot selection menu option names:
    0: <UNUSED>
    1: <UNUSED>
    2: <UNUSED>
    3: <UNUSED>

    Change which entry (-1 quits)?: [0]

Type '0' to give a name to partion 0 (output as a prompt during the
boot process).

You can also set a timeout and default boot.

Have fun....
