• 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)

Also see INSTALL.

Usage

• 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

• A backup is per default stored in /var/cache/bootbackup.tar.gz
• You can't use the openrc/sysv init scripts with parallel boot.
