Take a look at the manpage for fdisk(8) and mbr(8).
Basically you'll want something like 'fdisk -B wd0' to install the
bootselector MBR on your IDE drive.  This will let you hit 1-4 for the
primary partitions and then 'F1-F8' boots BIOS drives 0-7 according to
the manpage.  Provided your SCSI with NetBSD is showing up as a BIOS
drive, you should be able to just step through the possible drives
(F3-F8 perhaps), rebooting in between I assume, until you manage to
boot the NetBSD drive.
