We'll need a little more information to help you. First, do you have
Debian/Linux installed on this system, as well as NetBSD? Second, do you
already have a working GRUB installation for the Debian/Linux system?
If the answer to both of these questions is yes, then configuring GRUB to boot
your NetBSD installation should be relatively painless. Here's the specific
page in the GRUB manual for NetBSD:
http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/NetBSD.html#NetBSD
If you're not familiar with how to configure GRUB, just follow the links to
the rest of the manual for some background information.
Cheers!
