I have saved on my webserver a "dd" image of what I call my "Grub Emergency 
Boot" floppy - works well when I must reinstall my Windows partition and it 
toasts Grub out of my boot record - I can use it to boot into Linux and 
eventually re-write Grub to the MBR. This image is suitable for use with 
RAWRITE/RAWRITEWIN, which can be found from most Linux distribution sites.

Also included is sbootmgr.dsk, which is a DD image of a Smart Boot Manager 
floppy, allowing a system to be booted from CD even when it's old enough 
that the BIOS doesn't support it.
