Following is an example of config with
Storm in /dev/hda1 first partition,first disk
Mandrake in /dev/hda2 second partition ,first disk
Windows -slave disk ,primary IDE
Suse -first partition -master disk ,secondary IDE controller
Now you'll have to dig in /boot of each Linux for the exact names of
kernels and initrd files(I know mandrake's is .img) .Now the initrd line
can be skipped but if you need any special modules to reach your
boot+root
partition you won't get them(mostly is the SCSI case and some RAID
controllers).
