I don't know if that's what you need, but I use Booteasy 1.4 to boot 
NetBSD. I have a 170 MB IDE as Drive 0 with Dos on it. My second disk is 
a Quantum LPS 240 S (SCSI) with a single NetBSD partition.

Booteasy sits in disk 0's MBR and gives me the choice to boot Dos or use
the second disk's (i.e. NetBSD's) boot record, left over from
"kernel_copy". I still have to enter the kernel path manually
(hd(1,a)/netbsd), but it works. 

Be careful to get the newest Booteasy, older versions don't support 
booting from the second drive. You can get it from any SimTel mirror near 
you.

HTH.
