That link is where you start: First, by building a foundation on the
techniques of multi-booting; then expand on that with additional and
more specific articles until you achieve understanding and can fulfill
your task. This process has always worked great for me.  Takes longer,
yes; but you end up knowing what you're doing and can anticipate
potential problems. Using techniques and shortcuts others recommend
without knowing what they really do is a recipe for disaster.  Or just
folly.

Good luck with your quest.
