Does the BIOS load the bootloader?
A boot loader is a small program which is started from the Master Boot Record (MBR) of a hard disk, floppy disk, CD/DVD or other storage device. It is loaded by the computer’s BIOS after the BIOS has initialized a small portion of the system’s hardware. Many boot loaders also support passing parameters to the kernel.
A Boot Menu allows the user to specify what boot device to use as the computer is booting. The boot sequence is a setting in the BIOS setup that tells the computer what order to look at available boot devices on a computer. However, not all computers have an option to enter a Boot Menu.
