 rday is only talking about a hypothetical situation, he is not telling you to 
rebuild the kernel. Well, I read you have new hope. I think Tom's approach is 
not so bad indeed, since it seems to make matters less complicated for you. 
Only problem with it is that you will have to boot in two steps.
 The best solution in your case is probably the way rday suggested, that is 
mounting SuSE under /mnt/suse. Assuming windos stays on /dev/hda1, RedHat on 
/dev/hda2 and SuSE on /dev/hda5 you get something like

boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
default=redhat

image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.14-5.0
        label=redhat
        read-only
        root=/dev/hda2

other=/dev/hda1
        label=dos

image=/mnt/suse/boot/vmlinuz
        label=suse
        read-only
        root=/dev/hda5

 Choose the way you like best. And forget about sharing a /boot directory for 
the time being. It only seems to confuse you at this stage. Try it another 
time.

                        Bye,

                        Leonard.
