`grub_main` initializes the console, gets the base address for modules, sets the root device, loads/parses the grub configuration file, loads modules, etc. At the end of execution, `grub_main` moves grub to normal mode. `grub_normal_execute` (from `grub-core/normal/main.c`) completes the final preparations and shows a menu to select an operating system. When we select one of the grub menu entries, `grub_menu_execute_entry` runs, executing the grub `boot` command and booting the selected operating system.
