Darwin x86 and other OSes on the same HDD

I currently have a system with Win ME, Win 2K, Linux, and Darwin coexisting.

Lilo works fine as a boot selector. I'm sure grub or something like it would work as well.

I remember something about Darwin needing to reside in the first 1024 cylindars of the drive
in order to boot, but I can't seem to find any reference to it anymore. You should checkout
http://www.opensource.apple.com/projects/darwin/1.4/release.html for more info.
