19. x86, AMD64, and Intel® 64 Boot Loader
Configuration
To boot the system without boot media, you usually need to install a boot loader. A boot loader
is the first software program that runs when a computer starts. It is responsible for loading and
transferring control to the operating system kernel software. The kernel, in turn, initializes the
rest of the operating system.
GRUB (GRand Unified Bootloader), which is installed by default, is a very powerful boot loader.
GRUB can load a variety of free operating systems, as well as proprietary operating systems
with chain-loading (the mechanism for loading unsupported operating systems, such as DOS or
Windows, by loading another boot loader).
