What is Linux Boot Process Overview about?
The Linux booting process begins when the computer is powered on and the CPU loads the BIOS. The BIOS finds bootable devices and loads the MBR from the hard disk. The MBR loads the boot loader, such as GRUB or LILO, which loads the Linux kernel. The kernel initializes devices and starts processes, including init. Init runs startup scripts to mount filesystems and start services. Shutdown and reboot are initiated through commands that change the runlevel.
