I have saved on my webserver a "dd" image of what I call my "Grub Emergency Boot" floppy - works well when I must reinstall my Windows partition and it toasts Grub out of my boot record - I can use it to boot into Linux and eventually re-write Grub to the MBR. This image is suitable for use with RAWRITE/RAWRITEWIN, which can be found from most Linux distribution sites.

Also included is sbootmgr.dsk, which is a DD image of a Smart Boot Manager floppy, allowing a system to be booted from CD even when it's old enough that the BIOS doesn't support it.

- on a random linux-system create a grub boot-floppy with
cat /usr/share/grub/i386-redhat/stage? > /dev/fd0
(can this be done in windows/dos somehow?)
