There isn't one.. :-(

Unfortunately, the only command that whaps MBRs out is sysinstall, and
that's not a standard part of the system, it's only run at
installation time.

I'm working on this problem (really really!) for 2.1 and hope to
have this problem behind us.  For now, I suggest booting DOS and
installing BOOTEASY that way.  Really strange, BTW, that it doesn't
see your second drive!  It does mine, and I can boot DOS from
either drive using BOOTEASY..

Of course, I'm also using SCSI drives but that shouldn't change anything?
