Over the network, for example. FTP it or send the file via email.
You could also write the file to any other media (floppy disk or
CompactFlash card) which has a filesystem understood by both OSes
(msdos FS, for example). Read `man mount_msdos' for more info.

In the end, it's only 512 bytes! Do
$ hexdump /boot/boot0
and write it down from the screen :-)

I hope this helps.
