How Computers Boot Up (2008)

This kind of glosses over the actual boot loading part, imho.

We published a very similar article a few years ago, but as we (NeoSmart Technologies) are bootloader people, there’s a lot more emphasis on that part of things.

If you care to read it (and have the time): https://neosmart.net/wiki/mbr-boot-process/

Thanks for linking this! Interesting read! Do you have a similar one for the UEFI boot process? The article mentions but fails to link to a part 2.

I have the same question as @sukritkalra. Is there an article for the EFI/GPT boot process?
