Hi,

To avoid a level of magnitude of complexity and strange interactions
between boot codes of multiple Operating systems, you may want to look
into Removable drive trays.

I have in the past used a number of boot loaders and have seen that the
time invested into trying to get all this to work is often destroyed by
some inadvertent action when attempting to fix some other OS on a shared
drive. It is better to divide and conquer.
