Boot Process
Power On Self Tests (POST)
Run Boot Loader(s)
Load & initialize kernel
Detect & configure devices
Fork system processes
(Stop if Single User mode)
Run startup scripts
Start multiuser operations
Boot Loader
ROM loads Master Boot program from disk
Primary Bootloader


BIOS - Basic I/O, Program Loading
UEFI – Unified Extensible Firmware Interface
2nd Boot Loader finds/loads kernel


Checks available memory
Initializes kernel internal data structures
NTLDR – Microsoft Boot Loader
GRand Unified Bootloader (GRUB/GRUB2)


Can boot multiple OS
Boot options can be edited at boot
GRUB Images (/boot/grub2)
boot.img – Loaded first on BIOS systems
diskboot.img – first sector of core image
cdboot.img – DVD version of diskboot.img
core.img



Main image
Includes kernel.img and module lists
Built with grub-mkimage
kernel.img – Basic run-time functions
*.mod – Dynamically loadable modules
Basic grub.cfg options
Shell script in /etc/boot2
set default=“0”
set timeout=“5”
menuentry ‘Fedora’ <options>
set root=‘(hd0,gpt2)’
linux /vmlinuz-<version> <options>
initrd /initranfs-<version>
Creating grub.cfg
Compiled using grub2-mkconfig
/etc/default/grub

Variables to change default settings
/etc/grub.d/*



00_header
10_linux
40_custom
System Processes
BSD Systems



swapper – PID 0
init – PID 1
pagedaemon – PID 2
AT&T SVR4



sched – PID 0 (invisible under RedHat)
init – PID 1
/etc/inittab
Startup Services
Hostname
Timezone
Check the hard drives
Mount the hard drives
Remove files from /tmp
Configure network interfaces
Start daemons and network services
BSD /etc/rc* Scripts
/etc/rc


Master script
Executes supplemental scripts
Example supplemental scripts (freeBSD)



/etc/defaults/rc.conf
/etc/rc.conf
/etc/rc.conf.local
/etc/inittab
Initializes system for use
Format: id:rl:action:process




id: uniquely identifies entry
rl: Run level entry applies to
action: How to execute process
process: process command line
Ex: Setting the default Runlevel:
id:3:initdefault
Replaced in Fedora with systemd
Systemd
Becoming more prevalent in Linux Distros


Currently used by Fedora and OpenSUSE
Testing in Debian
Mostly compatible with the init system


init scripts are read as alternative format
Established functionality such as fstab still
supported
Systemd - Units
Uses a dependency system between “units”




Requires/Wants
Conflicts
Before
After
Encapsulate objects relevant to booting and
maintenance
Configured in config files
May be tied through symbolic links
Systemd – Unit Types
Different unit types control different aspects
of the operating system







service: handles daemons
socket: handles network sockets
target: Logical grouping of units (example: runlevel)
device: expose kernel devices
mount: controls mount points of the files system
automount: mounts the file system
snapshot: references other units (similar to targets)

Systemd – Runlevels
Runlevel is defined through a symbolic to one of the
runlevel targets
Runlevel Target


Runlevel 3:
/lib/systemd/system/multi-user.target
Runlevel 5:
/lib/systemd/system/graphical.target
Change Runlevel:

Remove current link /etc/systemd/system/default.target

Add a new link to the desired runlevel
Systemd - Virtual Consoles
Started in
/etc/systemd/system/getty.target \
.wants/getty@tty#.service
/sbin/agetty



agetty <port> <baud rate>
Alternative Linux getty
Opens tty port and prompts for login
Systemd - Virtual Consoles

See man 5 init for more
“Events”

/etc/init - Virtual Consoles
Started in /etc/init/start-ttys.conf
tty restarts in /etc/init/tty.conf
Example: /etc/init.d/tty.conf:
# tty - getty
#
# This service maintains a getty on the sepcified device.
stop on runlevel [016]
respawn
instance $TTY
exec /sbin/mingetty $TTY
/etc/init - Run Levels
Started in /etc/init/rc[S].conf:
Example (rc.conf):
start on runlevel [0123456]
stop on runlevel [!$RUNLEVEL]
task
export RUNLEVEL
console output
exec /etc/rc.d/rc $RUNLEVEL
Run Level Scripts
Actual scripts - /etc/rc.d/init.d/
