How Your Computer Boots
on the O'Reilly Network
This excerpt from Understanding the Linux Kernel by Daniel P. Bovet and
Marco Cesati explains what happens right after users have switched on
their computers, that is, how a Linux kernel image is copied into
memory and executed. In short, we discuss how the kernel, and thus the
whole system, is "bootstrapped."
