I have a machine that has MS-DOS, Novell Intranet Netware/Netware 4.11,
NT Server using NTFS and FreeBSD 2.1.5 on one hard disk (1.2GB).

I used FreeBSD boot manager.  Everything works great.  Yeah install NT
first, then freebsd.  If you decide to install MS-DOS with all of this,
and want to boot, e-mail me, because that was a bit of a trick.
