residing in the first sector of the mbr.
mbr is 512 bytes in size.(master boot record)
mbr then load the first stage of bootloader its all job to
load 2nd stage bootloader into the memory.
3-when 2nd stage bootloader will load into the memory you

entry like redhat server rhel5.4 and other os like others.
4-2nd stage bootloader will determine which kernal is to
load ,then it will load corresponding kernal binary into the
memory.
