root (hd0,0)
setup (hd0)

If you do it like you wrote you can loose your DOS data.

I would make a:
sda1 EXT3 partition /boot
sda2 FAT12
sda3 WINXP

I would use hide and unhide commands for installing DOS thinking that 
WINXP partition. does not exist.

I would use hide and unhide commands for installing WINXP thinking that 
DOS partition does not exit.

After that I would use hide and unhide commands for booting one 
partition or another.

This way each OS will have its own boot files in its own partition.

Make sure that sda is an IDE partition. As far as I know DOS does not 
support SATA drives.
