**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 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.
