Personally I would use a boot loader..
Grub (installs with many linux distro's) is VERRY easy (i think) and it
beats you modding ur bios settings.
if you do use grub then read about the MAP command
But yea you can do that
..
With grub you could (depending on how much space you need) install all 4
operating systems on the same hard drive (dont know if unix would have a
problem with grub or running from non-primary partitions)
