Briefly, bootloader is the -first software program that runs when a computer starts. It is -responsible for loading and transferring control to the operating -system kernel software (such as NetBSD or Linux). GRUB understands -ffs, FAT{16,32}, ext2fs, ReiserFS, minixfs, and VSTafs. It can -directly boot NetBSD, FreeBSD, OpenBSD and Linux without any other -bootloader, loading a.out and ELF kernels from the disk and passing -along necessary arguments (in most cases). It can also boot any -operating system (the above, plus e.g. Windows, OS/2) by chaining -to that operating system's specific loader. Grub features a runtime -command line and loads its configuration at boot rather than -requiring rerunning of a separate utility. Other features are TFTP -booting, serial console support, large disk support, support for -both DOS MBR label and BSD disklabel simultaneously, booting from -hard drive or floppy. - -GRUB is available for the i386 architecture only. |
