After having the same problems (lost DOS-partition after installing
NetBSD) the following worked:
- created bootable DOS-partition with DOS-fdisk
- created extended DOS-partition (which was intended to become the
NetBSD-partition) also with DOS-fdisk
- used a disk-editor to edit partition-table and changed "05" (extended DOS)
to "A5" (386BSD/NetBSD)
==> no problems with installing NetBSD into the "faked" partition,
no problems with the existing/bootable DOS-partition.
hope that helps (worked at least for me)

BTW. something like this is also mentioned in the FAQ ;-)
