Don't know what you plan with the CD, but you should certainly become
common with grub. I.e. see following article

http://www.fedoranews.org/contributors/bob_kashani/grub

Maybe see further grub documents and the manpages.

In general the MBR can be kept into a file by running

dd if=/dev/hda of=/mbr.saved bs=512 count=1

given that the drive with holding the MBR is the primary ATA drive.
