	Bootloader - The GNU Mach Reference Manual
		Many hardware architectures have a very simple startup routine which reads a very simple bootloader from the beginning of the internal hard disk, then transfers control to it.
		GNU Mach conforms to the Multiboot specification which defines an interface between the bootloader and the components that run very early at startup.
		After the bootloader loaded the kernel image to a designated address in the system memory, it jumps into the startup code of the kernel.

	php-deluxe.net - description GRand Unified Bootloader
		In Computing, the GRand Unified Bootloader is a multiboot boot loader which is most commonly used to allow Dual booting of two or more operating systems installed on a single computer.
		In technical terms, a multiboot boot loader is one which can load any executable file with a multiboot header present in the first 8 kilobyte of the file.
		The GRand Unified Bootloader can also be installed to a floppy disk.

	GRUB -- GRand Unified Bootloader (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		GRUB is an attempt to produce a bootloader for IBM PC-compatible machines that has both the capability to be friendly to beginning or otherwise non-technically interested users and the flexibility to help experts in diverse environments.
		This project actually started because we wanted to boot the GNU HURD operating system on top of Mach4 on an IBM PC-compatible system in a manner compliant with the Multiboot Standard, which was put together as a general solution to the problem of the different boot formats and the functionality they need.
		The name comes from the acronym, but also from the realization that although a grub is one of the smaller (and less interesting) critters - barely worthy of notice - it is nearly ubiquitous and vital to the order of things.

	Restoring GRUB on a dual-boot Windows/Linux system
		BIOS loads this bootloader program, and then that bootloader begins the process of loading the operating system (perhaps directly, or perhaps loading up another intermediary stage, with more options).
		However, it's able to use the rest of the drive space to hold more elaborate programs, allowing you change the way the system boots, in a variety of ways; and because it's a program on the disk drive, it can be updated, as needed, to suit the changes in disk drive technology.
		The average PC is running a Microsoft operating system, and their bootloader is very limited (deliberately, to some degree), and (usually) only one operating system is supported (theirs).

		It is a bootloader similar to LILO that once the user understands its operation, is much more powerful, and easier to setup than LILO.
		This image is a mid-stage image used by grub to read the stage 2 image from the partition on which it resides.
		Also, for example, if you were running a SMP capable machine, this is where you would remove the noapic and nosmp lines to enable the additional processors (this may already be set during installation on SMP machines).

		An internal project has the name "Grand Unified (thingie)", I was reading some about GRUB (GRand Unified Bootloader).

		However, Alan Cox told in a linux-kernel thread that this feature of the linux kernel will be removed sooner or later, you thus will have to use a bootloader even on floppies some day.
		Certain bootloaders are network aware, you may thus use them to download the kernel image from the network.

		The new bootloader described in this document is available prior to the formal release of the Solaris 10 1/06 OS from either the OpenSolaris Project or the Solaris Express program.
		Upon completion, the BIOS loads the initial bootstrap software (that is, the bootloader) from the configured boot device and hands control over to the bootloader.

		You may also see 'Grand Unified Boot Loader' and 'Grand Unified Bootloader' both referring to GRUB.

	LWN: LILO vs. GRUB
		GRUB (GRand Unified Bootloader) as its preferred bootloader, but this sudden push by Red Hat was about to give GRUB a major boost.
		As for the Linux distributions, most of the major ones seem to be slowly moving towards GRUB as their preferred bootloader, although this has not happened across the board.
		It is possible to write an MBR+ext2 bootloader for x86 that boots a kernel and initrd by name lookup in the root filesystem, and resides entirely in the (512-64-n) bytes of the MBR plus the 1KB boot block of a minimal ext2/ext3 filesystem.

		Stage1 is written to your MBR when you install GRUB and stage2 is somewhere on your hard drive where there is much more space to put a fancy bootloader like GRUB.
		I installed windows to hda which promptly overwrote the MBR of hda with a windows primary bootloader making Linux on hdc nonbootable for the moment.

	Bootloader - MorphixWiki
		Early programmable computers had toggle switches on the front panel to allow the operator to place the bootloader into the program store before starting the CPU.
		The small program is most often not itself an operating system, but only a second-stage boot loader, such as Lilo or GRand Unified Bootloader (Grub).
		It will then be able to load the operating system proper, and finally transfer execution to it.

	Chapter 14. Hardware Configuration (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Much like the LILO bootloader discussed in the previous section, GRUB, or the GRand Unified Bootloader, is a bootloader that provides boot selection for any number of Linux kernel revisions and other operating system variants.
		This isn't likely to be a problem in traditional office environments, but if you operate a public kiosk that gathers user data, or some other publically available system, it is worth devoting some time to considering the many ways in which an attacker could obtain access to your data.
		It is not required to be on the same disk or partition as the GRUB bootloader, but it must be contained on a disk and filesystem type that GRUB is able to access.
