No point.
dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/fd0 bs=512 count=1
Clearly you think that the partition table lives in the MBR.
But the MBR only describes the primary partitions.
The rest of the partition table (describing the logical partitions)
lives scattered over the disk.
But "/sbin/sfdisk -d /dev/hda > hda.pt" yields a partition
table in readable format that can be restored by sfdisk again.
