Booting Sys-Like
OS ./. 2
some thoughts. it is a major gap around to close, between two terms growing into topic inside computer science. the talk is about the difference between an "Operating System" vs the notion of a "Disk Operating System".
there should be a system stage number 1, comes number 2.
see lin: today, 1st prog on store, is grub - the bootloader of choice.
there must be some code hiding taken from MS/DOS. the problem of initializing a harddisk for example starts with the BIOS not being aware, or knowing anything about, the particular filesystem used for the system's partition.

Weird!
