Use hard-disk software that allows partitioning. Place each system on a 
different partition. Now, all you needs as better software that allows you
to tell it what partition to try booting from first. Currently I know of
only one software package that allows this. Bad news: It's not in the shops
(yet), but me and a friend have built it. We are currently considering
marketing plans for it, so don't start asking me where and when:
WE DO NOT YET KNOW.

By the way: This software can do much more, but I won't elaborate, sorry.
