Boot process
|
Phases:
|
Boot sequence
1.
BIOS
2.
POST
3.
Master Boot Record (MBR) - point to the bootloader GRUB or
LILO
4.
GRUB (stage 1) - point to GRUB stage 1_5
5.
GRUB (stage 1_5) - deals with specific filesystem types look
at /boot/grub/*1_5 files
6.
GRUB (stage 2) – reads /etc/grub.conf and displays the grub
menu, it specifies the kernel and the initrd files
7.
KERNEL - control given to the kernel
8.
INIT - reads /etc/inittab and runs /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit script
