You can install one of the distributions and use lilo to boot. From
there each time you install a different distro you can use the original
distro/lilo to load the next one by making a new entry in
/etc/lilo.conf. With a drive that big you will have to have the latest
version of lilo because there are issues with older versions of lilo
reading past 1024 cylinders. If I were you I'd get the first one
installed, learn more about how lilo works and then worry about
installing the rest.
