Grub boots the first menu entry by default (except when you specify
otherwise). Use `info grub' for a complete explanation of the menu
file.
Anthony> How do I make a boot floppy for my particular configuration?
dd if=/vmlinuz of=/dev/fd0
rdev /dev/fd0 /dev/hdb2
Anthony> How do I copy the MBR?
dd if=/dev/hda of=mbr bs=512 count=1
To copy it back:
dd if=mbr of=/dev/hda
