Make 4 partitions.
Find out how to get Multiboot to install any Kernels you want and create the .item files with the correct partition numbers.
It's virtually the same as installing just one OS, but you just change the Partition number to 3 or 4 and find the right kernel.
Done

Yep, exactly right. But you also need to have the fiasco kernel image in /boot/multiboot/
Then multiboot will dynamically flash the different kernels as it needs them.

Hm
Yep, as i see now in my terminal :
#root
#cd /boot/multiboot/
#ls
vmlinuz-2.6.28-omap1 vmlinuz-2.6.28.NIT.05
So the next two should be [vmlinuz-2.6.28-MeeGo & vmlinuz-2.6.28-Ubuntu]
And that names should be correctly be written in /etc/bootmenu.d items.
Push me if i wrong in that =)

100%
Just make sure that the kernel name you put in the item file matches the kernel name properly.
Normaly the kernel name in the .item file is the same as the name in /etc/multiboot/ just with the vmlinuz- removed.

Hm
If i'm doing that - i get a k1p1 with 14gb available, and k1p2 with 2 gb for NitDroid. OK
So now, if i'll try to do that again, my whole SD card will format again, isn't it?
Can i repart not a whole hard disk, but a partition with --force command?
Or better use fdisk for that?
sfdisk -uM /dev/mmcblk1 << EOF
,<YOUR NUMBER IN MB>,C
,,L
,,
,,
EOF

Code:

The letter you put on the end of the line decides the file system so if you need ext3 partitions, use L instead of C.
