    (description
     "GNU GRUB is a Multiboot boot loader. It was derived from GRUB, GRand
Unified Bootloader, which was originally designed and implemented by Erich
Stefan Boleyn.

Briefly, the boot loader is the first software program that runs when a
computer starts.  It is responsible for loading and transferring control to
the operating system kernel software (such as the Hurd or the Linux).  The
kernel, in turn, initializes the rest of the operating system (e.g., GNU).")
