AROS Arix/Boot process

i386

1. grub2 loads Linux kernel
2. grub2 loads initrd image
3. Linux boots and starts /init script
4. /init starts /boot/AROSBootstrap which loads aros-base-arixloader(*) and arixloader.resource
5. arixloader.resource scans volumes detected by AROS
6. first volume that contains AROS.boot and VOLUME:boot/AROSBootstrap.conf is selected for booting
7. arixloader.resource copies files defined in VOLUME:boot/AROSBootstrap.conf into EMU:boot-stage-2(**) and exists
8. /init changes directory to /boot-stage-2 and runs ./boot/AROSBootstrap

(*) This is a strip down AROS kernel.

(**) EMU:boot-stage-2 equals to /boot-stage-2 in initrd

Additional options:

root=sh - if such kernel parameter is passed the boot sequence is change into

1. grub2 loads Linux kernel
2. grub2 loads initrd image
3. Linux boots and starts /init script
4. /init tries mounting /dev/sr0 as /aroscdmount
5. /init tries running /ariscdmount/boot/aros-init
6. /init starts sh

This option is useful for development environment where different versions of kernel needs to be tested
