Yes, its possible. You can use two differnet programs. Lilo or Grub.

In a nutshell:
You need to partition your hard drive using cfdisk / fdisk and create the different partitions. Install windows first. Then your Linux and BSD. Configure Linux to be the bootable and install lilo on Linux or BSD. Then you should be good.

Is it recommendable?
I have a duel boot (windows/linux) on my machine. The only reason I do it is because I dont have two computers I could just kvm switch between. Its all preference really.

Yup it can be done if you have a big enough hard drive. My bro has a triple boot. It is a good idea to make the windows partition on the first MBR.
