Partitioning for Win, Linux, NetBSD

I need to partition a 20 GB harddrive for Win98, Linux (Slackware) and
NetBSD. I also want to leave a partition open for testing different Linux
distros. My needs are:

Win98: 2 GB
/swap: 512 MB
Slackware: 5 GB for / (/home is on hdb1)
Other Linux: 5 GB
NetBSD: 7.5 GB (all the rest)

There is a limit of four Primary partitions. Windows and /swap need two
Primary partitions. I would like a /boot partition; I'm thinking that could
solve the problem of where to install the bootloader for each distro or O/S.
Is having a /boot partition a good or bad idea?

How can I partition this to not go above the four Primary partition limit?
What can go into an extended partition?

Thanks for any suggestions.
