I don't see anything there that looks like a bootloader. Are you sure that's what it is supposed to be?

Actually i am also not sure about this. I need help. there is one more thing.
We all know that we have a booting file in windows xp that is in the C:\ drive and its name is boot.ini
Their must be a booting file in ubuntu can you tell me the name and location of that booting file for ubuntu.
I want to alter that boot file in such a way that it would first display a .jpg image file and some text then run the ubuntu os.
can you help me with this??
