    - The procedure of starting a computer by loading the kernel is known as booting the system.

    - Most computer systems have a small piece of code stored in ROM known as the bootstrap program or the bootstrap loader.

    - This code is able to locate the kernel load it into the main memory and start its execution.

    - Some computer systems such as PC's use a two step process in which a simple bootstrap loader fetches a more complex boot program from disk which in turn loads the kernel.
