  I don't think this can be done.  I believe all of these OSes can boot from
a FAT16 partition, but NT's boot loader is the only one I know of where two
OSes can boot from the same FAT16 partition.  So we have three FAT16
partiions of a maximum of 2GB each.  Add a boot manager (I use the one from
OS/2 that comes with Partiction Magic 3.x and 4.x), with its own tiny
partition; we've now used 6MB and a wee bit, all of which *must* be bfore
cylinder 1024 (8GB, with LBA).
  Whoops.  Our partition table has room for FOUR entries, and is now full.
The remaining 4GB or so of space cannot be made accessible, since we cannot
create additional partitions on this drive.

  I would put Linux on its own machine....
