quadruple boot a system

So I need to quadruple boot a system with Win2k3, WinXP, Solaris 10 and Red Hat 9. I haven't done this on my own yet so I'm just trying to get an idea of how i should proceed. I want to put the Windows Oses together on one HD and have Linux and Solaris on their own HDs but if it's not possible i'm willing to let idea slide. Anyone do this (or soemthing like it) before?
 
I'm not 100% sure how it would work, but my thought would be to install in this order:

1. Windows XP - 1st partition on hda
2. Windows 2003 - 2nd partition on hda

3. Solaris 10 - 1st major partition on hdb
4. Linux - 2nd major partition on hdb

I'm not sure how to setup the swap space, but I would try and have linux / solaris share a swap partiton on hdb at the begining of the disk ** not sure if that will work, but that is what I would try.

The reason I'd setup Linux last is I use SuSE on my workstations and LiLo will usually find all other operating systems as options to boot to.

Again, I'm sure you can do this, but I'm not sure how easy it is going to be.
