I only know about the small bridges between computer firmware and the first custom program to be started, which usually is a bootloader. https://dev.lovelyhq.com/libburnia/libisofs/raw/branch/master/doc/boot_sectors.txt If i wanted to expand my knowledge towards x86-related firmware, bootloaders, and the Linux kernel i would probably begin at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BIOS https://uefi.org/specifications https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/grub.git/tree/ https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/x86/ depending on the direction of my expansion. (I wouldn't get far, i guess.) Have a nice day :) Thomas
