As I recall, I 'blessed' (apples' term) the partition that I wanted to boot most often and used the hold the alt key when I wanted to use the other OS. Remember, apple starts partition numbers at 0 (zero).
There used be a facility rEFIt that did a reasonable job, but I found it only made a slow boot process even slower.
If you want to multiple boot, put grub on the blessed partition on your next install.
I needed the space osx was using some years ago, so no longer dual boot, hence my haziness.
