My initial thoughts:

http://dan.langille.org/2007/08/19/a-multi-platform-regression-
testing-machine/

My conclusion: a multi boot system.  There are ways to specify, at 
shutdown time, what the next OS to boot should be.  I'm sure that can 
be done.

I could go virtual, but I getting access to the real tape drive is 
harder.  I' not sure yet, but perhaps virtual without tape drives is 
the way to go.
