Solaris is/was available on the cheap. I bought the media kit for a whopping $85 back in 2000. At one time, the ISO images could be downloaded but I do not know if that is still true.

As for muliple OSs, for the greatest ease I would use SystemCommand as the OS selector. With SystemCommander, you can load most any operation system and SystemCommander will do the hard part of taking care of the various mbr records.
