hashboot/README.md

**hashboot** hashes all files in `/boot` to check them during early boot. It is
intended for when you have encrypted the root partition but not the boot
partition. The checksums are stored in `/var/lib/hashboot.digest` and a backup
of the contents of `/boot` is stored in `/var/cache/boot-backup.tar`. If a
checksum doesn't match, you have the option to restore the file from backup.

# 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)

Also see [INSTALL](https://git.tastytea.de/?p=hashboot.git;a=blob_plain;f=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.
