....search order defined in the CMOS. Once it finds a bootable disk, it loads the primary boot block into memory and passes control to it. The code contained in the boot block proceeds to load the operating system, or a secondary boot block depending on the operating system [11] 8] or boot loader [1]. Once the BIOS has performed all of its power on tests, it begins searching for expansion card ROMs which are identified in memory by a specific signature. Once a v, did ROM signature is found by the BIOS, control is immediately passed to it. When the ROM completes its execution, control is ....

Ideally, the boot process would proceed in a series of levels with each level passing control to the next until the operating system kernel is running.
