Linux Boot Process and Boot Loaders Quiz

The traditional BIOS uses a disk partitioning scheme called GPT.

UEFI stands for Unified Extensible Firmware Interface.

GRUB is a boot loader commonly used in Windows operating systems.

BIOS assumes the boot device starts with a record called the GPT (GUID Partition Table).

Linux Loader (LILO) is an example of a boot loader.

UEFI includes a modern disk partitioning scheme known as MBR (Master Boot Record).

Linux distributions commonly use a system manager daemon called systemd to streamline the boot process.

The kernel is loaded into memory and starts executing during the bootstrapping process.

Administrators cannot modify bootstrap configurations in Linux systems.

The boot loader in Linux systems does not pass any arguments to the kernel.

System management daemons focus solely on logging processes during boot.

UEFI and BIOS are both types of boot loaders used in Linux systems.

The config file for GRUB is called grub.cfg and it is located in /boot/grub.

The configuration for GRUB is specified in /etc/default/grub.

After editing /etc/default/grub, you can translate your configuration into a grub.xml file by running update-grub or grub2mkconfig.

GRUB supports a command-line interface for editing config file entries at boot time.

One of the GRUB commands mentioned is 'reboot' which reboots the system.

GRUB_TIMEOUT controls the number of seconds to display the boot menu before autoboot.
