The role of a bootloader is to load and initialize an operating
system - so, in essence, you're asking "what does a bootloader do?"
and "how do I write a bootloader?"<br>
<br>
Perhaps the easiest way to answer your question is to suggest that
you study the Linux boot process - and how it proceeds from power
up, to BIOS, to LILO or Grub. Your answer is in the details.<br>
