From the CM9 Alpha0 post on rootzwiki

CAN I MAKE A TRI-BOOT SYSTEM? (WebOS, CM7, and CM9)

Yes, but don’t bother. There may be instructions forthcoming on this, but it’s a bit advanced - just pick one.

Maybe once they provide instructions they may be a useful, substituting Arch Linux for CM7. Depends on how they accomplish the triboot.

The main problem is that there is not much room on the /boot partition for several OS's to exist. 2 seems to be the limit right without changing the size of the partition. Dale grin and others have said they may work on it soon but right now it's a real pain and could screw up the touch pad.

Not true. There are people triple booting with webOS, Android and Linux. Check the threads under "Other Touchpad Developement". And ARCH is one of the Linux versions that work.
