What is Boot Loader?
A boot loader is a small program that loads the operating system when a computer starts up. It initializes the hardware and then loads the OS kernel into memory, allowing the system to begin functioning. Common examples include GRUB and LILO on Linux systems and the Windows Boot Manager on Windows systems. It is essential for the startup process of a computer or other electronic device.
