→Week 3 (Sept 15) - Linux Startup
** Lab02 is due '''before''' midnight Wednesday, September 24, 2008
* Concepts/Commands learned/used in this week's lecture
** Linux Boot Process
*** Power on - Code in ROM BIOS finds and loads 1st stage loader from boot device (MBR)
*** 1st stage loader finds and loads 2nd stage loader (GRUB)
*** 2nd stage loader finds and loads Linux kernel and initial ram disk
*** kernel checks the system hardware, mounts the root device and loads the needed kernel modules
*** kernel runs init program (PID=1)
** Init Process (System V)
*** init reads /etc/inittab to get default run level
*** init runs rc
*** rc runs runlevel scripts
