Coexistance should be possible, at least with BSD. I once installed
FreeBSD and installedd the FreeBSD-bootloader into the BSD-partition
(not mbr) and after this installed Linux.
Grub detected the BSD and included it IIRC. If this does not work you
could use the chainloader config-entry.

Looks like you deleted the complete disk and then then installed only
the partitions for linux. The partition-sheme isn't very use, i think.

You could try Knoppix and then create the following partitions if you
want to erase your hdd:
hda1: 80MB, type 83 for /boot (?) or xGB for Darwin
hda2:  xGB, for your BSD-slice
hda3:  xGB, for your Solaris-Slice
hda4: extended
hda5: swap-file (I hope the unixes can read extended partitions, at
least the swap!)
hda6: /

Please find out if can use the first block on yoour hard drive, some
OS might use this one for special purposes.

Kind regards, Paul
