How can i tripple boot; Windows, Linux, and Hackintosh (OSX)?

How can i tripple boot; Windows, Linux, and Hackintosh (OSX)?
I have an elitebook and i want to install Windows, Linux, and OSX on a 2TB HDD and have the operating systems boot off of a 500GB SSD.
I know how to work with Linux and Windows and I have read a bit about how to make a Hackintosh bootable USB for installing OSX on a PC.
How can I configure the OS's to boot off of the SSD and save data to the HDD?
What order should I install these systems; what boot loader should i use?
Which Drive should I place in the ODD caddy? (HDD or SSD)
How can I configure this elitebook into the best of three worlds?

This should not be difficult and is just a matter of configuring each OS correctly. Configuring the OS to save data to a non-SSD partition depends on knowledge of the particular OS. Booting these three different OSes from an SSD simply requires that you know how to format an SSD into multiple partitions. Use the basic linux model as a guide: The boot partition is small but contains enough information to give the kernel access to the other partitions and thereby allow access to binaries in /bin/, /usr/bin/, and libraries in /usr/lib/, /usr/lib64/, etc. Mac cannot be too different from this. My advice about windows is to have it as the second installed system (or first if it won't cooperate as a second system).


Here's some information about mac that may be helpful:

I'm sorry if mac turns out to be too obscure. If you're running "hackintosh" you are already far afield from any supported use case of the macintosh operating system. Get Linux and Windows working together off the SSD and leave some space left over for mac. Once Linux and Windows are working together nicely work on getting mac to to boot off of grub (from the SSD). The basic fact that you are booting from and SSD should not be an obstacle to any of these operating systems working properly.
