I have a course outline and my lecture notes :) The syllabus is mostly
grading, contact, and scheduling info as well as the course description
and objectives.

WRT booting, I cover grub, inittab, and the rc scripts... I usually have
a homework assignment asking them to document the boot process, i.e.
what is the default runlevel, what is the first script that is run, what
directory are the rc scripts run from, etc.

Sometimes they just stare at me with those twirly spiral cartoon things
in their eyes when I try to explain how the live CDs work (a bad
combination of linux arbitrary path mounting + chroot + ramdrive =
confused newbie students), but I try to explain the boot process from
BIOS to shell. On PCs anyway.

I've been voraciously reading on this stuff after getting my butt
kicked on the interview questions.

I've always been curious as to what you and Brian have for your
curricula.  You have a syllabus?
