**hashboot** hashes all files in `/boot` and the MBR to check them during early
boot. It is intended for when you have encrypted the root partition but not the
boot partition. The checksums and a backup of the contents of `/boot` are stored
in `/var/lib/hashboot` by default. If a checksum doesn't match, you have the
option to restore the file from backup.
If there is a core- or libreboot bios and flashrom installed, **hashboot** can check bios for modifications too.
# Install
* Make hashboot executable
* Place hashboot anywhere in $PATH
* Install the appropriate init script
* If applicable, copy kernel-hook to /etc/kernel/post{inst,rm}.d/zzz-hashboot (make sure it is called after all other hooks)
* To generate the manpage, install asciidoc and run `build_manpage.sh`.
# Usage
* First run creates a configuration file. Use bitmask to select desired checkroutines
* Run "hashboot index" to generate checksums and a backup for /boot and MBR
* Run "hashboot check" to check /boot and MBR
* Run "hashboot recover" to replace corrupted files with the backup
# Notes
* You can't use the openrc/sysv init scripts with parallel boot.
