Use the following commands if the burg is not appeared after rebooting.(Installation of burg to MBR, usually it will be done automatically after burg install).

• Reboot
• Press ‘T’ on your keyboard when at the BURG screen
• Using your arrow keys select a theme from the list that appears
• Hit enter for it to be applied
