Topic: Boot sequence

	http://www.hedden.org/bootcd.html
		The computer will boot from the first boot record it finds, so not only is it important where the computer looks for a boot record, but also the order in which it checks these places (called the "boot sequence" or "boot order").
		The boot sequence menu often displays the possible boot devices in a vertical or horizontal list whose order from top to bottom or left to right typically indicates the order in which the computer will try to boot off these devices.
		Once you have made this change to the boot sequence, and you are confident that you have not made any other changes that you did not intend to make, save the changes and exit.

	EDM/2 - A Note on the OS/2 Warp Boot Sequence
		Boot Manager resides in its own small partition and supports the selection of up to 32 bootable partitions spread among multiple physical disk drives.
		The code and data for Boot Manager are imbedded in the file FDISK.COM (in Warp Connect, beginning at offset 12d0e hex), and FDISK will, at the user's request, install Boot Manager by copying this code and data to the appropriate sectors at the beginning of the Boot Manager partition.
		When booting from an HPFS partition, the first piece to be loaded is the "micro-FSD", comprising 5 sectors, or about 2.5 K of code, at the beginning of the partition.

	Microsoft Windows 95: Understanding the Windows 95 Boot Sequence
		As we researched the reader's problem—which centered on a new NetWare requester he had installed—we discovered that although Windows 95 may initially appear to boot in the same way as DOS, the two boot sequences are actually quite different.
		Windows 95 creates this file when you request a logged boot or when it determines that your attempt to boot to the previous version of DOS was unsuccessful.
		A copy of all master boot records and partition boot records from both before and after Windows 95 was installed.

	Booting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In computing, booting is a bootstrapping process that starts operating systems when the user turns on a computer system.
		A boot sequence is the set of operations the computer performs when it is switched on that load an operating system.
		The boot loader would then read the operating system in from an outside storage medium such as paper tape, punched card, or an old fixed head disk drive.

	boot(7): General description of boot sequence - Linux man page
		The boot sequence varies in details among systems but can be roughly divided to the following steps: (i) hardware boot, (ii) OS loader, (iii) kernel startup, (iv) init and inittab, (v) boot scripts.
		The parameters stored in the nvram vary between systems, but as a minimum, the hardware boot program should know what is the boot device, or which devices to probe as possible boot devices.
		Then the hardware boot stage accesses the boot device, loads the OS Loader, which is located on a fixed position on the boot device, and transfers control to it.

	HP-UX 10
		The boot program finds the secondary loader on the boot media (typically in the LIF volume of a mass storage media), loads it into memory, and starts it running.
		Manual boot can be entered by pressing any key during the 10-second override period in the beginning of the autoboot sequence.
		The primary boot path is not altered or disabled.

	DOS Boot Process
		The System Boot Sequence consists of a series of events that the system performs when it is turned on (or rebooted with the reset switch).
		If you were to boot from a floppy disk, the steps would only differ slightly in the first few steps, as the floppy disk structures are slightly different.
		At this stage, the master or volume boot sector is loaded into memory and tested, and the boot code that it contains is given control of the remainder of the boot process.

	The Boot Process - Windows XP Version by AVIRUP
		A fatal error, on the other hand, stops the process of booting the computer and is generally signaled by a series of beep-codes.
		After each successful boot sequence XP makes a copy of the current combination of driver and system settings and stores it as the Last Known Good Configuration.
		The XP boot process is not considered complete until a user has successfully logged onto the system.

		The boot monitor's main function is to load the minix operating system or another OS.
		Immediately after the bootstrap jumps to the boot monitor, code from boothead.s is executed.

	How-To: GRUB to Boot FreeBSD, Linux, and OpenBSD
		It may be possible to find and adjust all such references (while booted from another system) but it's probably quicker to install a system from scratch at a new location than to move it.
		If you intend to boot from the hard disk, then the executable copy of GRUB still needs to be installed onto the hard disk that the BIOS will pass control to at boot time which is nearly always whatever disk is recognized as the first disk (or the one you currently boot from).
		To make a boot floppy, the online GRUB documentation presents two different methods, in the manual section "Creating a GRUB boot floppy", and in the GRUB FAQ which is the simpler method.

	J!NX Forums - Changing boot sequence
		Posted - 02/05/2005 : 5:23:55 PM Hi this is my first post the problem i have is that I want to copy the SAM file on a friends computer but the problem is the primary boot device is the Hard drive and the BIOS is password Protected so i can't change the boot sequence.
		I know there is a way to change the boot sequence to the cd drive without going into the BIOS.
		Like the above post, you may be able to boot to a floppy first, other than that, google the pc maker and look for a bios boot function like f12...

		The problem with the boot sequence is that I can't change it, neither date or boot order.
		During the very first boot of that box it went to the first partition, that was the 0-partition (39MB of Dell Utilities and files).
		After agreeing to this and that and pressing enter...from that point on it would boot to Windows via the 1-partition which contained the MBR and all was well.

	System Boot Sequence
		As the boot sequence continues, the BIOS continues to perform additional tests on the system.
		Once the boot sector is found and its contents or data verified, the BIOS starts the process of booting the operating system by using the information in the boot sector.
		The next step involves the small program in the boot sector locating the first part of the operating system's kernel loader program (or in some cases the kernel itself or perhaps a boot manager program), and then reading that into memory.

	HP-UX boot Guide
		A single-user boot in HP-UX is sometimes referred to as an interactive boot or attended mode boot.
		This tells the system to boot to the ISL using the SCSI drive at address 6 (since the device path of P0 is scsi.6.0).
		When a system is booted to a particular run level, it will execute startup scripts for all run levels up to and including the specified level (except run level 0).

	Boot Sequence Errors
		The most common boot sequence errors occur when the operating system components required for the boot process cannot be found or are corrupted.
		When you see a repeated sequence of error messages indicating that Windows NT Workstation is checking hardware, the error is a problem with the ntdetect.com file.
		The solution is to use your boot disk to gain access to the system and to rename the folder back to the location contained in the boot.ini file.

	Boot Sequence
		Once the BIOS finds the boot programs, usually located on the hard drive, it loads them into short-term memory, and sends that location information to the CPU.
		The CPU is considered the “brains” of the computer, although like a human brain it has special areas set aside for different functions.
		You can hear the hard drive humming along with occasional soft grunts and gurgles as the CPU begins accessing the hard drive to load the operating system.

	System Boot Sequence
		If it is searching a hard disk, it looks for a master boot record at cylinder 0, head 0, sector 1 (the first sector on the disk); if it is searching a floppy disk, it looks at the same address on the floppy disk for a volume boot sector.
		If no boot device at all can be found, the system will normally display an error message and then freeze up the system.
		A "warm boot" is the same thing except it occurs when the machine is rebooted using {Ctrl}+{Alt}+{Delete} or similar.

		When the computer is switched on, the first thing it does is to activate resident on the system board in a ROM (read-only memory) chip.
		The operating system is not available at this stage so that the computer must 'pull itself up by its own boot-straps' so to speak.
		This procedure is thus often referred to as bootstrapping, also known as cold boot.

		A Master Boot Record is made up of two parts - the partition table which describes the layout of the fixed disk and the partition loader code which includes instructions for continuing the boot process.
		The Boot Record is also 512 bytes and contains a table that describes the characteristics of the partition (number of bytes per sectors, number of sectors per cluster, etc.) and also the jump code that locates the first of the operating system files (IO.SYS in DOS).
		The active partition's boot record is checked for a valid boot signature and if found the boot sector code is executed as a program.
