With your boot partition in the first 1023 cylinders as outlined above it is perfectly possible to place your subsequent OS layouts in extended partitions anywhere on the disk.
Create a new extended partition as partition 4, then divide up the space amongst as many drives as you like. I made two 5gb partitions for a 'stable' and 'test' OS image, while keeping /dev/hdb2 simply as a 'data' partition for my home directories and PVR recordings.
