The GRUB Disk software comprises a rescue disk for GRUB.
The package contains the GNU GRUB boot loader which is a Multiboot boot loader. It was originally derived from GRUB, or GRand Unified Bootloader, which was created by Erich Stefan Boleyn.
In essence, the boot loader is the first software program that runs when a computer starts up. Its main role is to load and transfer control to the operating system kernel software such as the Hurd or the Linux. Once the kernel initializes the rest of the operating system, GNU becomes fully functional. Overall, the GRUB Disk package is a valuable tool to have when troubleshooting computer issues.
