Found something - hope it works...

From: http://www.nilbus.com/linux/disk-copy.php


Copy the MBR
 For the new disk to boot, me must copy the boot code from the Master Boot
Record (MBR) to the new disk. 

The MBR is on the first sector of the disk, and is split into three parts: 

Boot Code (446 bytes) 
Partition Table (64 bytes) 
Boot Code Signature = 55aa (2 bytes) 

We only want to copy the boot code - the first 446 bytes. We do this with
dd: 

dd if=/dev/hdb of=/dev/hda bs=446 count=1
