Hi, I'm GRUB and I Live in the /boot

Description

A photo of a laptop (ThinkPad-style) whose screen displays a meme: a small grub/larva-like creature curled on dirt and gravel, with a large white speech bubble outlined in red reading 'Hi. I'm grub and I live in the /boot'. The image riffs on the classic 'Hi, I'm a grub and I live in the dirt' format. The pun maps the insect 'grub' onto GRUB (GRand Unified Bootloader), the standard Linux bootloader whose configuration and kernel images live in the /boot partition - humor instantly legible to anyone who has rescued a system from a grub> prompt after a botched kernel update or dual-boot install

        I've been installing gentoo onto a amd SoC 5TDP laptop and couldn't get grub running for a whole week long. LILO worked instantly like a charm.
