The primary server's named.boot file should contain

primary mydomain.com db.mydomain

The secondary server's named.boot file should contain:

secondary mydomain.com 192.168.1.1 db.mydomain

This may not have anything to do with named.boot.  You need to have an
entry in db.mydomain that looks like:

ns2  IN A  192.168.1.2
