It is difficult setup and windows 7 will complicated things. There
are several ways to do it, but it is hard. Thus many my shy away from
responding :(
Here's a section of handbook on bootloader

Hope this will help in some way, but in case you install three OSes
and only able to access 2, try to use a Plop/GaG/grub4dos live disk to
be able to boot the other OS and try to experiment a bit. I am not
expert so you may decide to *not trust* my advice. I had difficult
time booting FreeBSD and windows vista and could not succeed in an
efficient manner :(
