Subject: [TUHS] Paper discussing Unix boot process?
Date: Wed, 10 Apr 2019 12:51:40 -0400 (EDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.LFD.2.21.1904101246310.2133@booboo.lectroid.com> (raw)
Long ago, I could swear I'd read a paper (or a TM, or something) that
described the process of a Unix system booting. It presented a timeline
describing the sequence of how the boot blocks are loaded, the kernel
is loaded, MMU turned on, etc.
However, other than that, I can't recall a thing about it - can't remember
the title, the author, or where I found it. I don't remember if it talked
about this process on a Bell Labs Unix system, or a BSD system (though it
had to be one of those - either 7th Edition or BSD). The timeframe was
probably mid to late 1980's, though I could be wrong about that.
Does this ring a bell with anyone? I really wish I could find it again...
