Well, I don't know about articles, but it's easy.
Partition your hard drive with at least one partition per OS.
Start with the dumbest OS. In this case, Win98.
Install it to whichever partition.
Next, install NT4.
Last, install Win2k
The boot menu will be automatically setup.

Don't forget - if you want NT4 in this equation, the boot partition MUST be FAT16 unless you use some kind of boot manager other than Micro$oft's.

Cool dual boot

My multiboot relies on Partition Commander, which has a cool wizard
for installing new OS's. Makes everything really simple, when you
get a feel for what you're doing, you can shut the wizard down and
do it yourself.

Partition Magic is comparable, but I like it a bit less.

Finding a boot manager that works well is the key to multiple OS's.
Now I'm learning alternate OS's as I acquire them, with no fear of
losing my familiar bases in Win3.11 and Win98.
