Similar to jggimi, I also did not have this problem: my "other" box has both NetBSD 4.0.1 and OpenBSD 4.4 (and also Linux) all on one disk.

Re loss of DesktopBSD after NetBSD install: did you tell the NetBSD installer to put its bootblocks in the MBR? If you said "yes" to this question, that would likely be the problem as it would overwrite whatever bootloading you had there initially. For multi-booting I answer "no" to this question and use the LILO "chain" method to boot a BSD. (You will have to substitute your favourite boot utility.)
