One card - many OS?

You have not understood the problem. That is totally ok, but please stop posting false information which will only mislead others.

Oh please, every information you seek is available. Everyone familiar with bootup of devices using U-Boot can do it. Everyone else simply cannot.

The answer to the question of this thread has been answered before - i can do it again: Of course you can put as many OS'es on a single card as you like. As of how, it is up to you - exactly the same as for any other computer with a bootloader.
