I'm experimenting with different OSs to see what they are like and stuff. My question would be, is doing this going to screw up my "master boot record" or overwrite my bootloader? (e.g. go from grub to lilo)

What do you want to be on MBR? List your OSes.

Have look at XOSL - at www.xosl.org It can boot most OSs and works very well.

Either grub or lilo can live in the mbr but not both. Either can boot the os if properly configured. See the HOWTOs.
