I installed FreeBSD 2.0 on a machine that had DOS.

Now I want to put this manchine back to DOS only and I cannont restore
the MBR to the original state.  I do not know how to remove the
FreeBSD boot manager, AND I cannot get DOS to boot.  The drive is an
EIDE and I cannot do a low level format.

How can I restore the MBR to the original state?
