A HDD in the multibay is just like any other hard drive.  You configure
LILO (or GRUB or whatever bootloader you use) with all the different
OSes you want to boot, telling it where to find them
    (/dev/hda<x>, /dev/hdb<x>, etc)
and (for the case of LILO), run /sbin/lilo.  You'll need the drive in
the bay for LILO to find the boot images, while GRUB might be smarter
about it.  When you boot, you simply select whichever boot option you
want.  If you try to boot an OS from the bay drive without that drive in
the bay, you probably get what you deserve :-)

Best of luck,
