This might start you off in the right direction until you decide which OS' your going to use and they do differ in how you go about setting them up to a certain degree

As we all know, different operating systems use different file structures. (Linux uses ext2; Windows 95/98 uses fat32; NT uses fat16.) Also, all OSs are installed on partitions. Obviously, each partition must be of a totally different type, and neither system can talk to each other, right? Wrong! Fortunately, Linux can read and write to most file system types, and LILO is allowed to take charge of the boot process easily and seamlessly.

After the BIOS posts (assuming that both OSs were set up correctly and that the LILO boot manager was installed correctly), control is transferred to LILO, which reads a file in the /etc directory (it's located on the Linux partition) that has a "map" of the hard drive.
