In PCs, when you turn on the machine, the system reads BIOS to locate the MBR which is the first 512 byte of hard disk. Then, the MBR says the location of GRUB and the
GRUB program starts to load kernel. Finally, the kernel loads modules and init scripts to boot system up. IN ARM system, because we do not have any BIOS or Hard disk, the
process is differentand it dose not have any GRUB. Instead, it has a Ramdisk or an image from file system that kernel loads that and boots from that. So, in case that wehave several kernels in ARM, it should figure out to select the kernel that it wants to load because it does not have any GRUB like PCs.
