Hi, Newbie, I need to understand the differents steps of a booting process from the 2 floppies (kern.flp & mfsroot.flp). How it comes and the FreeBSD machine can understand the fact that it has to find kern.flp & mfsroot.flp from the floppy, uncompress them, load them in the RAM and make them running ? In short, which program gives enough knowledge to the microprocessor (?) and allow him to use kern.flp & mfsroot.flp in order to boot and make the operating system running. Thanks in advance.
