Oh, there are several tricks to do that - 

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

and then do 

$ od -x mbr

or do

$ od -x /dev/hda | head -n 32

No, I'm not aware of any such utility. Under 18s are allowed to
see neither hex dumps nor purchase Corel Linux ;) They should use
the KDE interface to fdisk :)
