bootstrap loader : FOLDOC
bootstrap loader
A short program loaded from non-volatile storage and used to bootstrap a computer.
On early computers great efforts were expended on making the bootstrap loader short, in order to make it easy to toggle in via the {front panel} switches. It was just clever enough to read in a slightly more complex program (usually from punched cards or paper tape), to which it handed control. This program in turn read the application or operating system from a magnetic tape drive or disk drive. Thus, in successive steps, the computer "pulled itself up by its bootstraps" to a useful operating state.
Nowadays the bootstrap loader is usually found in ROM or EPROM, and reads the first stage in from a fixed location on the disk, called the "boot block". When this program gains control, it is powerful enough to load the actual OS and hand control over to it. A diskless workst
