Description
The button to uninstall (and restore previous) MBR file in the BootManager application has not been working for 11 years... (or does it work for some people?)
https://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/9014
So https://www.haiku-os.org/docs/userguide/en/applications/bootmanager.html needs to present workarounds for people who want to restore the original MBR.
This reply on discourse gives detailed steps that could be added to the doc above:
https://discuss.haiku-os.org/t/uninstall-boot-manager-button-greyed-out/14125
I could create an initial pull request on https://github.com/haiku/website/tree/master/content , but I don't know which page there to edit.

I added the "dd" workaround to the BootManager page. Will be available when it gets exported next, probably for the next release.
The user guide is maintained at https://i18n.haiku-os.org/userguide. I'll look into adding the dd workaround...
