Boot process	Phases: Boot PROM: displays system information, run POST, load bootblk, locate ufsboot Boot Programs: bootblk loads and executes the ufsboot Kernel Initialization: ufsboot loads and executes the core kernel, initializes core kernel data structures, loads other kernel modules based on the/etc/system file, starts/sbin/init program init: starts other processes based on the /etc/inittab file	Boot sequence BIOS POST Master Boot Record (MBR) - point to the bootloader GRUB or LILO GRUB (stage 1) - point to GRUB stage 1_5 GRUB (stage 1_5) - deals with specific filesystem types look at /boot/grub/*1_5 files GRUB (stage 2) – reads /etc/grub.conf and displays the grub menu, it specifies the kernel and the initrd files KERNEL - control given to the kernel INIT - reads /etc/inittab and runs /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit script	Boot sequence BIOS POST Master Boot Record (MBR) - point to the bootloader GRUB or LILO GRUB (stage 1) - point to GRUB stage 1_5 GRUB (stage 1_5) - deals with specific filesystem types look at /boot/grub/*1_5 files GRUB (stage 2) – reads /boot/grub/menu.lst and displays the grub menu, it specifies the kernel and the initrd files KERNEL - control given to the kernel INIT - runs the /etc/event.d/rc-default script	Phases: PDC - processor-dependent code; executes and performs self-tests ISL - initial system loader; loads the secondary system loader hpux HPUX - is the secondary system loader and loads the kernel /stand/vmunix, then hands over to the kernel KERNEL - swapper processes are started by the kernel then starts the init process INIT - reads /etc/inittab	Phases: Read Only Storage (ROS): check the system board, perform POST, locate and load boot image, begin system initialization and execute phase 1 of the /etc/rc.boot script Base Device Configuration: start configuration manager to configue base devices System Boot: start init process phase 2, switch to hard-disk root filesystem, start other processes defined by /etc/inittab and execute phase 3 of the /etc/rc.boot script	Boot process
