Although you should not have any problems, I suggest an alternative 
(easier) way: Install a separate boot manager product. If you want a free 
one, go for Ranish Partition Manager's Boot Manager, or commercial - System 
Commander.

You should not encounter any problems....just remember this thing - make 
sure that at least the boot code (e.g. /boot in Linux) of each OS resides 
below the 1024 cylinder boundary. Otherwise the OS will not be able to boot 
off the hard disk.
