I would install lilo and then make a lilo.conf witht the top line:
boot=/dev/fd0
Put a floppy in the drive and run /sbin/lilo. That will write LILO to the
floppy just as it would to the MBR if the top line were boot=/dev/hda. Then
leave the floppy in and try to boot. If it works, then you can change the
top line so that it writes to the MBR. If not, then you can keep at it
until it does while booting with GRUB.
