Hello,

| 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.

your BIOS reads the first sektor from your floppy which consists
of a boot loader, which usually loads the 2nd step boot loader
and this one loads the kernel.
