| − | ==Bootstrap Process==
| |
| | | | |
| − | By default, a three-stage bootstrap is employed, and control is automatically passed from the boot blocks (bootstrap stages one and two) to a separate third-stage bootstrap program, [https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=loader&sektion=8&apropos=0&manpath=FreeBSD+12.1-RELEASE+and+Ports loader(8)]. This third stage provides more sophisticated control over the booting process than it is possible to achieve in the boot blocks, which are constrained by occupying limited fixed space on a given disk or slice.

| − | FILES
| |
| − | * [[/boot/]]boot1 first stage bootstrap file
| |
| − | * [[/boot/]]boot2 second stage bootstrap file
| |
| − | * [[/boot/]]loader third stage bootstrap
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The BIOS/GPT will attempt to load [[/boot/]]loader from partition `a' of either the floppy or the hard disk. This is the final stage of Ghost/FreeBSD's kernel bootstrapping process.

| |
| − | On the screen you will get:
| |
| − | * FreeBSD/x86 bootstrap loader, Revision 1.1
| |
| − | * Loading [[/boot/defaults/loader.conf]]
| |
| − | * Loading /boot/device.hints
| |
| − | * Loading [[/boot/loader.conf]]
| |
| − | * Loading /boot/loader.conf.local
| |
| − |
| |
| − | After this you will greeted with: Welcome to GhostBSD
| |
| − | The loader program offers a menu with the following options:<br/>
| |
| − | 1. Boot Multi user [Enter]<br/>
| |
| − | 2. Boot single user<br/>
| |
| − | 3. Escape to loader prompt<br/>
| |
| − | 4. Reboot<br/>
| |
| − | Options<br/>
| |
| − | 5. Kernel default/kernel (1 of 1)<br/>
| |
| − | 6. Boot Options<br/>
| |
| − | Autoboot in 2 seconds, hit [Enter] to boot or any other key to stop.<br/>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Loading kernel...<br/>
| |
| − | /boot/kernel/[[Kernel|kernel]]<br/>
| |
| − | Loading configured modules...<br/>
| |
| − | /boot/kernel/snd_driver.co<br/>
| |
| − | and so on <br/>
| |
| − | until you get the boot splash: GhostBSD
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Once the kernel boot process is finished, the kernel passes control to the user process [https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=init&sektion=8&manpath=freebsd-release-ports init(8)], which is located at ''/sbin/init''. The [[/boot/defaults/loader.conf]] states as GhostBSD defaults: ''rc_system="[[OpenRC|openrc]]".''

| − | [[OpenRC]] is starting<br/>
