Will 4.0 dual boot with 3.4? Shouldn't be a problem. 4.0 and 5.0 worked fine when I did that. However, make sure that all the system files for both are installed. If you've got a spare partition (or disk), install the second in that (ignoring the first), and then use a standard boot manager to distinguish the two. You can then mount filesystems from one to the other to share files.
