BIOSBOOT(8) - System Manager’s Manual (amd64) # BIOSBOOT(8) - System Manager’s Manual (amd64)
NAME # biosboot - amd64-specific first-stage system bootstrap
DESCRIPTION # This small program (roughly 512 bytes of code) is responsible for loading the second-stage boot(8) program (typically /boot), which in turn will load the kernel.
biosboot must be installed by installboot(8). As part of the installation, installboot(8) patches biosboot with information about the location of boot(8) on disk.

NAME # boot_amd64 - amd64 system bootstrapping procedures
DESCRIPTION # Cold starts # The Athlon64 computers and clones will perform a POST (Power On Self Test) upon being booted cold. This test will find and initialize memory, keyboard, and other devices. It will search for and initialize any extension ROMs that are present, and then attempt to boot the operating system from an available boot drive.

NAME # boot, boot.conf - amd64-specific second-stage bootstrap
DESCRIPTION # The main purpose of this program is to load the system kernel while dealing with the pitfalls of the PC BIOS architecture.
As described in boot_amd64(8), this program is loaded by the biosboot(8) primary bootstrap loader and provides a convenient way to load the kernel. This program acts as an enhanced boot monitor for PC systems, providing a common interface for the kernel to start from.

Diskless DISKLESS(8) - System Manager’s Manual # DISKLESS(8) - System Manager’s Manual
NAME # diskless - booting a system over the network
DESCRIPTION # The ability to boot a machine over the network is useful for diskless or dataless machines, or as a temporary measure while repairing or re-installing filesystems on a local disk. This file provides a general description of the interactions between a client and its server when a client is booting over the network.

NAME # pxeboot - amd64-specific second-stage PXE bootstrap
DESCRIPTION # pxeboot is a modified version of the amd64 second-stage bootstrap program, boot(8), configured to run under Intel’s Preboot Execution Environment (PXE). PXE is a form of smart boot ROM, built into many Ethernet cards from Intel, 3Com, and other manufacturers.
The computer’s PXE boot ROM contacts a DHCP server by broadcasting a request on the network.
