restore-grub - restores the boot loader subject to the presettings in /etc/grub.d.mbr and /etc/grub.d.part (provided by Starbuntu)

restore-grub

The Starbuntu program restore-grub which demands root privileges restores the boot loader grub2 twice: it launches the regular update-grub for the boot area of the Starbuntu partition and also an update for the master boot record (MBR) which forks to the Starbuntu partition and to other possible partitions containing operating systems (other Linux distributions, Microsoft Windows etc.) and moreover to possible live images (bootable ISO files).

For this reason the described procedure demands two folders for the boot parameters: /etc/grub.d.part and /etc/grub.d.mbr which the conventional folder /etc/grub.d optionally points to. For the same reason this method demands two folders for the boot process: /boot and /boot-mbr. For more detailed information see /usr/share/help/C/Starbuntu/bootmenus.html.

In case on the storage medium there is only the Starbuntu partition, restore-grub does exactly the same as update-grub.
