Probably:-)

When RHEL5 was in beta, I was multibooting FC6 beta, RHEL5 beta, SLES10 
and openSUSE 10 (or so).

I had at least one of them booting at least one of the others with Xen, 
using paravirtualisation, but networking wasn't. I had to hand-configure it.


Note that you probably should pass physical /dev/sda1 (a partition) as 
/dev/sda1 (a partition). Passing a partition as a block device will, I'm 
sure, work but somebody's going to get confused.
