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?"

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.
