	I remember reading somewhere that you could run something like
fdisk /mbr and then reformat a disk so that DOS could be reinstalled. I have
decided to remove NetBSD from a pc I have and I cannot seem to get this
command to work. I looked through the install notes and can't seem to
find any referance to this /mbr command. What is the proper command to
run fdisk with to restore the master boot record? (i.e. remove a NetBSD
partition type so a DOS type can be defined).

Please email if you know.
