Method 1:
Install something like booteasy (bteasy14.zip on simtel).
I'm pretty sure that it can be configured to select between bios C:
and bios D: (so if your SCSI disk appears to the bios as D: you're set.)
If you install this, only install it on the first drive (deny the
request to install it on the second).
When you boot you'll get a menu like:
	F1	dos
	f5	second disk
hit f5. then you get the netbsd prompt. boot with something like:
	hd(1,a)/netbsd
('hd' tells the bootblocks to use the bios method to determine drive order)

hope that helps,
