What is Bootloader?
A bootloader is a small program that loads and starts the operating system when a computer is powered on. It performs essential hardware initialization and then loads the OS kernel into memory, transferring control to it. Common uses include loading different operating systems on a multi-boot system, and flashing new firmware or OS images.
