Description of the boot procedure
« on: September 22, 2007, 10:56:39 PM »
Hello!

I am searching for some information regarding the entire operations involved in a system boot (cold/warm). What does the hardware do, how are the vectors copied to address 0, what does exec when and how, in which order are devices, libs etc searched and found in ROM and so on.
Frankly, I have no clue whats going on up to the point where the boot screen is displayed.

Can someone help me out??

Thanks,
 Alex
