If you can get into Linux, try '/sbin/lilo -r /dev/fd0' or something
like that--check the man page on lilo.  That should write a MBR to
the floppy.  If your problem is more severe, you'll need a completely
new boot disk, which is more complex--let me know, I've gotten pretty
adept at boot/root disk stuff. (not by choice, mind you ;)

I'd also advise that is you are reliant on a floppy to boot Linux,
(something I strongly discourage) keep a backup copy.
