I have a single boot partition that is basically just a
grub partition. The only thing I have in the grub menu is
a batch of chainloader specs to go boot the other operating
systems I have in their own independent partitions (when
installing grub on them, I use whatever advanced option is
needed to tell it to install in the boot partition, NOT the
MBR).

This works out very nicely because doing things like updating
kernels in one OS doesn't screw around with my master grub
menus, each OS is self contained and free to update its own
copy of grub.conf or menu.1st (whatever that OS happens to
call it).
