I've never connected any kind of keyboard to any of my Pies, always worked through SSH. So it can be done.

As for multiboot, I think swapping the SD card is much easier than spending hours researching ways to do anything else.

Be careful with "high-speed SD card", the high-speed marking can mean anything, really. Always look for the card class ( = minimum guaranteed write speed, in megabytes / sec), declared average read and write speeds or, even better, actual speed tests done by people. I've seen some 2 MiB/sec cards labeled as high-speed.

Surely it "can be done" - But all my pi's so far per default didn't announced their name upon fetching their DHCP IP, so I had to always refer to the router for their IP - respectively "try the range".
Maybe its just my setup.
But I found it always most easiest to log in on terminal 2 and give it a fix IP under which I then was able to find them straight away.
Logging in and once typing "ifconfig eth0 192.168.33.2" was faster than loggin in on the routers website and maneuver to it's list of dhcp'ed devices for me.

Edit:
I do have 34 dhcp'ed devices in my network which change IP on each reboot. So searching for one specific really is a downer for me.
