A point is not mentioned up to now .

There is an important difference between  FreeBSD and Linux boot processes .

FreeBSD is booting by loading very small parts step by step .

Linux is booting by loading very large files ( such as 7 MB , 30 MB , ... )
as boot images to use .


With my best wishes .
