Comment (by pulkomandy):

 NetBSD has an MBR code which could be used for this (in the minimal
 configuration - no bootmenu stuff):
 
http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/~checkout~/src/sys/arch/i386/stand/mbr/mbr.S?rev=1.23
 &content-type=text/plain&only_with_tag=MAIN

 When creating an intel partition we should put that code in it instead of
 leaving it with en empty boot code.
