Type bootinst boot.bin at a DOS prompt and the program will ask you which disk if you have more than one and save your current MBR for a future restore. Both files are in the tools dir. on the CD-ROM or the FTP site. /stand/sysinstall can do the same via the label editor - just quit without changing anything and the next menu should be a prompt re the boot manager.
