Mer is a fairly standard linux system so the bootup process is not special. Typically bootup from the board is handled by a vendor's boot system - like uboot - this hands control over to the kernel and provides a suitable command line to say where the rootfs is and what to use to boot the OS. This is in the "Hardware Adaptation" and varies from vendor to vendor. After that Mer uses systemd to handle the boot process (and I will be documenting this in more detail but there's nothing special). http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd is a good place to start. On to Mer code : http://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Category:About is a great place to find out about Mer concepts - and "Source" is in there too. If you do want to debug then we've recently been working on the platform SDK which will help you build custom binaries and images.
