  Inside the Linux boot process
This boot loader is less than 512 bytes in length (a single sector), and its job is to load the second-stage boot loader.
When the second-stage boot loader is in RAM and executing, a splash screen is commonly displayed, and Linux and an optional initial RAM disk (temporary root file system) are loaded into memory.
When the images are loaded, the second-stage boot loader passes control to the kernel image and the kernel is decompressed and initialized.

 Linux System Administration: Using LILO, The Linux Loader
There are also loaders provided for OS/2 on the D: drive and DOS on the B: drive (os2_d.b and any_b.d, respectively; chain.b is the default loader for other operating systems).
This means you will have to turn off the active (boot) flag on the Linux partition and turn it on for the SCO Unix partition, using the Linux fdisk or cfdisk, before trying to boot SCO Unix (in addition to running LILO to install the new configuration).
Create (or retain) another LILO configuration for the second Linux partition, this time including an unsafe entry for the first Linux partition if you want to (this again assumes that LILO is installed in that partition, which usually happens at upon installation of the OS).

 palo PA-Risc/Linux Boot Loader
HP boot firmware requires the boot loader (iplboot) to be a multiple of 2k in length and be stored contiguously on a 2k boundary.
The boot loader program is stored starting at 2kbytes from the beginning of the medium and is followed by the kernel file and optional ramdisk file.
The format of the boot loader, kernel, and ramdisk are identical to the sequential case except that some padding is added in order that somewhat larger kernels and boot loaders can be added later without re-writing the rest of the F0 partition (this feature may not yet be supported by palo however).

 Autoconf, Automake, and Libtool: A Simple GNU/Linux Module Loader
Something to be aware of, is that when your users write dynamic modules for your application, they are subject to the interface you design.
If there are other applications which have similar module requirements to you, it is worth writing a loader that uses the same interface and semantics.
That way, you will (hopefully) be building from a known good API design, and you will have access to all the modules for that other application too, and vice versa.

 Choosing a Linux Boot Loader
If you will be running Linux on a computer by itself, there is no need to read any further, you want to use LILO as your boot loader.
And whereas most Linux distributions will install LILO for you, saving you the trouble of the initial configuration, with Loadlin you are usually left to do it all on your own.
Loading the Linux kernel from floppy disk means taking a couple of extra minutes to boot the system, but once it is loaded all your normal Linux programs will run from the hard drive, so your system performance will not suffer.

 Boot loader showdown: Getting to know LILO and GRUB
A separate boot loader must then be installed into the MBR and configured to pass control to the secondary boot loader.
Many newer Linux boot loaders can be especially useful since they give you varying degrees of interaction, such as advanced GUI and encrypted passwords, along with the ability to load from a selection of operating systems.
A segment of this boot.b file is written to the MBR (the primary part of the boot loader), which then points to the map and subsequently points to the secondary boot loader.

A boot loader can be installed on the master boot record (MBR) of your hard disk, or you may install it on the root partition that a Linux distro uses.
Linux names the partitions differently, so you'll need to compare the sizes of the partitions to make sure you are deleting the correct one.
It should be pointed out that you don't *have* to install a boot loader when you install Linux if you already have one due to an existing Linux installation.

 [No title]
Nowadays ELF is the standard format for Linux binaries besides the a.out binary format, which is not used in practice anymore.
One of the functions of a binary format loader is to properly handle setuid executables, that is executables with the setuid bit set on the file system image of the executable.
We have found that standard Linux (i386, GCC 2.95) setuid binaries contain code that will jump to the EIP=0 address and crash (since there is no virtual memory mapped there), however this may vary from binary to binary as well from architecture to architecture and may be easily exploitable.

 Multi-booting Solaris and other operating systems
Linux Loader, or shortly LILO, is a versatile Linux boot manager.
This switch is usually present and causes the Linux kernel to initially mount the root file system as read-only and remount as read-write later.
If Linux can not be loaded we may also try DOS fdisk utility or Ranish PM to rebuild MBR.

 Boot loader showdown: Getting to know LILO and GRUB
In many cases, the default boot loader installed with a Linux distribution is not always the best for your needs; the same can be said for the default settings of each boot loader.
Boot loaders are usually configured in one of two ways: either as a primary boot loader or as a secondary boot loader.
Primary boot loaders are where the first stage of the boot loader is installed on the MBR (per the previous description).

 Alios
The alios boot loader for Linux is a small assembler loader code designed to load a Linux kernel and RAM disk image from ROM after initialising the most basic hardware features.
The goal when writing alios was to eliminate the need for a BIOS on small embedded systems where the hardware setup is quite fixed.
The Linux OS itself on such systems does not depend on the presence of a BIOS - once it is loaded, all the low-level access to hardware is performed by the Linux kernel itself.

 Boot loader launches Linux from DR-DOS
Devicelogics is shipping a DR-DOS based Linux loader that loads the Linux kernel while preserving DR-DOS in memory so that, upon Linux session completion, the system returns to DR-DOS.
According to Devicelogics, DRLX is a DR-DOS application that enables OEMs to quickly load and run Linux applications from a native FAT32 file system, simplifying the management of embedded images and files.
It claims DRLX removes the complexity of introducing Linux technologies to an embedded platform by completely avoiding the Linux install.

A boot loader is a program that loads the operating system into the computer's memory from its hard disk when the computer is first started up.
LILO, which stands for LInux LOader, is a very efficient boot loader, and it may be used to start other operating systems in addition to Linux.
