Old Glidden Paint Factory

-
This paint factory in NW Atlanta operated from the 1960s until the late 1980s. It has since been deemed an EPA superfund site, no doubt for all the fun stuff they dumped into the soil.

Anyhow, since I run Debian 12 with LVM and an encrypted root filesystem, recovering the grub bootloader was a very manual process.  I'm adding the steps I used here for my own future reference.  Yours will probably be different.  This assumes you know your way around Linux, hardware device mappings, &etc.  Please don't ask me for help recovering your own system unless you're also offering me $200/hr for my time. 1.
