Tri-booting?

Is it possible to triple boot with Solaris 9 (x86 version)?

I installed XP Prof first, then Linux Fedora. Currently there it is a dual boot, and the dual boot software came with Fedora.

I already used partition magic to allocate 5 gigs of free space on my disk.

Basically my questions are:
1) Is it possible?
2) Would the boot loading program stay the same, or would Solaris use its own?
3) Is there a big chance for the other operating system paritions to be destroyed?

See description here

And yes, there is always a chance of the other operating system paritions to be destroyed. You might have to reload the others in the proper steps as explained.
