on a BIOS machine, it would just boot the first partition marked bootable, even if all four were marked such.
I can't remember ever finding a BIOS HD0 bootable while having more than one boot flag set on its primary partitions. My experience is unless there is exactly one flag set, boot process simply stops post-POST, sometimes with a cryptic message, sometimes with no message at all.
The code was too small to be able to be clever: so it just booted the first one it could find :-) -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive." Proverbs 16:21 (New Living Translation)
