Subject: how do I undo 386BSD boot blocks?

I just received a nice new machine to run 386BSD on, so my old machine
is reverting back to DOS.  Unfortunately after running fdisk, format,
and installing DOS on the drive it fails to boot and appears to still
have the 386BSD boot blocks.  I know this has been asked before, but
I've never had the problem myself, so I didn't pay attention to the
answer.

Thanks for any help.

(Maybe this should be added to the FAQ?)
