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.

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)

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

• You can't use the openrc/sysv init scripts with parallel boot.
