http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/From-PowerUp-To-Bash-Prompt-HOWTO.html "This is a brief description of what happens in a Linux system, from the time that you turn on the power, to the time that you log in and get a bash prompt. Understanding this will be helpful when you need to solve problems or configure your system." This process isn't very debian-specific, so this may prove a useful read.
