howdy all, As a junior computer engineering major who has dreams of developing an operating system more ubiquitous than ms windows, I have come to appreciate the complexity and elegance of both the freebsd os and community. While achieving proficiency in C programming yet lacking in both UNIX utility know-how and shell scripting, I would rate my hacker savvy to be on an intermediate level. By the time I graduate from college, I hope to have a thorough understanding of the bsd kernel on the lowest level. Don't get me wrong though: while my end-game may be to develop my own operating system, I will forever be a contributor to freebsd. As my understanding of computers develops, you will undoubtedly see my name appear more frequently on the freebsd-hacker emails. Unfortunately, I am just not at the level of understanding just yet. To start, I was wondering if someone could briefly explain the operations and function calls that occur at boot time. I wish to thoroughly examine the freebsd source code but I'm afraid the sheer volume of code that exists leaves me with no real starting point for my research. Thank you all for your time. -- Best Wishes, Brian Kim
