What is a bootstrap program in OS? |
|
Answer» It is generally a program that initializes OS during startup i.e., first code that is executed whenever computer system startups. OS is loaded through a BOOTSTRAPPING PROCESS or program commonly known as booting. Overall OS only DEPENDS on the bootstrap program to perform and WORK correctly. It is fully stored in boot blocks at a FIXED location on the disk. It also locates the kernel and loads it into the main memory after which the program starts its execution. |
