There are several listed, but i was thinking of:

   Fixit# fdisk -B -b /boot/boot0 bootdevice

       substituting bootdevice for your real boot device such as ad0 (first
       IDE disk), ad4 (first IDE disk on auxiliary controller), da0 (first
       SCSI disk), etc.

in particular.

No, that's the solution to a different problem.

Section 3, "Installation", includes the question 
"Windows 95/98 killed my boot manager! How do I get it back?"
