First, when you power up the system the bios goes through a POST, which is power-on self test. This just checks that hardware is working, etc. Then it looks for a boot sektor, which must be 512 bytes long and end with a magic number, and loads the kernel. From there, you can look at the head.s assembly, and I think someone posted a tutorial here a while back--maybe they'll post that again.
Thank you

Roughly, yeah something like that....mind you, POST is a procedure that is part of BIOS initialization -- regards, Mulyadi Santosa Freelance Linux trainer and consultant blog: the-hydra.blogspot.com training: mulyaditraining.blogspot.com
