Hi All,

Hopefully the title isn't funny to be ignored! But I have a genuine interest in understanding what happens when a computer is turned on. i.e. how the computer works on startup, various initializations that take place. For example, is bootstrap loader the first step, when are device drivers loaded etc..

Please guide me to understand.

Regards, darkie
