You young sprouts have it easy. When *I* got into computing, bootstrapping consisted of a half-hour of keying in a binary paper tape loader into low memory of a machine with a 60 kbyte hard drive and about 5 kbytes of RAM. And when you were done, the OS consisted of an assembler that used hexadecimal op codes and a subroutine library.
