If I set up this way (boot from SATA drive):

SATA0
        WinXP (100GB)
        SuSE10.0 (400GB)
IDE0 
        Xandros (40GB)
IDE1 
        FAT32 (40GB)
        linux /local (40GB)

You are saying that I could tell grub to boot from
 1 SATA Linux
 2 SATA MonkeySoft
 3 IDE0 Xandros

Can I do this?
